This is the sheltered pool inside the Dwejra headland, round from the Inland Sea. Divers use it as an entry point when the Blue Hole is too rough. The rock shelves fast and the water is deep within a few metres of the edge.
There is nothing at the pool itself, though the kiosks and toilets at Dwejra are a short walk away. Only a west-south-westerly reaches into it, so it is often calm when the rest of this coast is rough.
This is a dive site as well as a swimDive centres run guided shore dives here for qualified divers and beginners alike.

Which winds this bay can take
It is sheltered from the west round to the south-west. There is no open water on those bearings for a wind to build a swell across. It is open to the west-south-west, where the sea runs for kilometres before it reaches this shore.

Measured as metres of open water on each bearing out from the shore. This is the bay’s own geography and it does not change; whether it is swimmable this afternoon is the reading at the top of the page, which also weighs how hard the wind is actually blowing.
