Daħlet ix-Xilep

Daħlet ix-Xilep is a sheltered inlet where you drop anchor off the northeastern coast of Malta, tucked into the broader Saint Paul's Bay area. The surrounding scenery is classic Maltese coastline — rocky limestone shores, low-lying land, and open water views toward the bay. It's a quiet spot away from the busier commercial parts of town, with the historic and lively Saint Paul's Bay area within easy reach if you want to head ashore.
