Keep an eye out for signs pointing towards the local attractions. After approximately 15-20 minutes of walking, you will reach the area known as Xwejni Bay. Follow the road along the bay, and look for a small path leading towards the water. The P31 Wreck is located just offshore, and you can find a good viewpoint from the rocky shore.
