Il-Kantra, Gozo

 

This site is located inside the western entrance to an inlet called Mgarr ix-Xini.  At the western side of the inlet a number of rare fish can be seen, such as the flying gurnard, the red gurnard, the star-gazer and if luck the John Dory.  Other species include seabream, scorpionfish, small octopus and large cuttlefish.  There are also two caves.  On entering the caves one can see anemones and even some shrimps hidden amongst the walls. The seabed away from the cliff face is of coarse sand, with occasional seagrass, above which rarer fish are found.

Maximum depth - 14 metres.
