Daħlet Qorrot Bay is a small bay found in the north of Gozo, Malta between Qala and Nadur.[1] The beach is rocky in summer but in winter it is always covered with algae.[1] In this bay, you can find several boathouses which had been dug in the soft limestone.[1] The rock is filled with fossils and this makes Daħlet Qorrot a geological hot spot.[2]
