The route to this bay is through a narrow descending road which affords extraordinary views of the bay. Upon arrival, one finds a small sandy/pebbly beach with a small area for parking.

One also immediately notices some fishermen’s rooms cut into the rocks on the right hand side.

Sometimes one can see one or two of the fishermen outside their rooms mending their nets – a chance to see a snapshot of how people lived many years ago when life was much calmer and quieter.

The place is ideal for children to play on the sand and enjoy a swim as the shore line is shallow.

However one needs to be aware that the sea gets deep fairly quickly so children should be kept under strict supervision.

For the more adventurous swimmers who like to jump or dive into the sea, there is a designate area from where one can do so and this is serviced with a ladder to enable swimmers to safely climb back out of the sea.

This bay also offers a paradise for keen snorkelers as the sea is very clear making this an ideal place.

Some small inlets in the rocks by the beach serve as a shelter from the strong sun, and the benches which have been provided for visitors are shaded by trees which also offer some respite from the sun.

In winter the location is ideal for those who wish to seek some solitude, or who enjoy watching the rough or calm sea, or reading, or just spending some time quietly away from the usual hustle and bustle of everyday life. In the winter months, Dahlet Qorrot bay rough sea can be risky for those who are not experienced swimming.

Due to its low level location, getting a connection on your mobile phone might prove to be problematic.
