Ħalfa Rock Anchorage

Drop anchor off Ħalfa Rock, a raw limestone islet sitting off Gozo's south-east coast with almost nothing around it but open water and the occasional seabird. The isolation here is the whole point — no crowds, no noise, just a rugged chunk of Maltese geology that apparently has pirate history attached to it. The surrounding waters are known for vibrant marine life, so if you're snorkelling off the boat this is a solid spot to do it.
