Not from here: the cliff is vertical with no descent, and swimming is not possible along this stretch โ the nearest swimming beaches are on the northwest coast (Golden Bay).

Malta's highest point and its emptiest: the Dingli Cliffs are a limestone wall dropping 253 metres to the sea on the western coast โ with a farmed plateau above, divided by dry stone walls, almost without buildings or lights, which makes it the exact opposite of crowded Malta. Walking the cliff edge is the visit: a dirt path runs for kilometres along the rim from the small chapel of St Mary Magdalene (1646) standing alone at its end, passing farms, stone terraces and the radar station at the summit. The sun sets straight into the sea from here โ the island's most famous sunset spot. Below there is nothing but water and the islet of Filfla, and on clear days Sicily shows to the north. There are no railings along most of the route: stay back from the edge, especially in wind โ the limestone crumbles at the lip.
Alone on the rim since 1646.
Kilometres without buildings above the sea.
