THE WAY IN
Getting there & access
Marsaskala’s rocky shoreline
The source places this feature northwest of Żonqor Point, with the connecting tunnel close to its shore entry. Have a local guide identify the exact entry and return; this is separate from the bay’s tugboat wrecks.

Plan for the day you go
Check the current regional wind and sea outlook, then agree the entry, exit, route and required experience with a local operator. Regional forecasts do not measure cave surge, currents, visibility, water quality or closures.
Cave and overhead access requires an on-site assessment and appropriate training and equipment.
