The Blue Grotto is one of the most beautiful natural sights in Malta. This gorgeous place refers to a number of sea caverns on the south east coast of Malta. It is located at a short distance off the fishermen's harbour of Wied iż-Żurrieq limits of Qrendi. This natural spot is famous for the extraordinary sea reflections within the cave area. The location of the caves, combined with the rays of sunlight, lead to the seawater mirroring and showing numerous shades of blue on the cave walls and ceilings. Wied iz-Zurrieq harbor and Blue Grotto sea caves are located on the coastline right opposite to the small uninhabited islet of Filfla. The island now serves as a bird sanctuary. The beautiful oceanic caves on the small island of Filfla are surrounded by tall cliffs that are constantly pounded by waves, producing the phosphorescent glow for which they are known. The Blue Grotto is actually one of nine caves near the island of Filfla that produces a phosphorescent glow.
The Blue Grotto is a popular destination for tourists to the island of Malta with boat trips visiting the caves running all days of the year. Underwater, different colors of red, mauve, green, orange and yellow give an impressive and most welcoming picture to its visitors.
This beautiful location is extremely popular, attracting some 100,000 tourists per year, also for diving purposes. Scuba diving on the Um El Faroud (Um El Faroud is the best wreck dive in Malta. It was a Libyan oil tanker that was scuttled off the coast of Wied iz-Zurrieq in September 1998 as an artificial reef and a scuba diving attraction) scuttled wreck with the locality, and snorkeling on the coastline walls, together with rock climbing, are the most popular activities practiced here. Wied iz-Zurrieq offers some stunning views of the surrounding sea and landscape. It also offers some typical local restaurants serving menus and fish cuisine.
