Surrounded by lush countryside, Dahlet Qorrot is a favoured area among hikers, and the beach makes for a refreshing stop-off on any country walk. Superb for swimming and snorkelling, the bay's sheltered waters are teeming with spectacular sea life, whilst its intriguing caves make it a hit among divers too. One of Daħlet Qorrot's most unique features has to be its caves, serving as boathouses, each with its own colourful door, still very much in use by local fishermen. With smooth flat rocks and a quayside to recline on, there is certainly heaps of space for sunbathing too.
