Discover more about Blue Hole Viewpoint

The Blue Hole Viewpoint provides a vantage point to observe one of Gozo's most renowned natural attractions: the Blue Hole. This impressive marine feature is a roughly 10-meter-wide and 15-meter-deep hole in the coastal rock, a natural wonder carved by centuries of wind and wave action. Located near Dwejra Bay in San Lawrenz, the Blue Hole is more than just a visual spectacle; it's a gateway to an underwater realm. Divers and snorkelers are drawn to its crystal-clear waters and the underwater archway that connects the hole to the open sea. The marine life here is abundant, with colorful coral gardens and diverse species inhabiting the submerged caves and archways. While the adjacent Azure Window, a towering rock arch, collapsed into the sea in 2017, the Blue Hole continues to captivate visitors. The collapse has created an underwater boulder reef, adding to the diving experience. The viewpoint allows visitors to appreciate the Blue Hole's beauty and the surrounding coastal landscape, offering a memorable glimpse into Gozo's natural wonders.
