 Gnejna beach    
Gnejna
Bay situated on the north west of the island has several
very impressive views on the way there and when you get
there.
Gnejna pronounced "j-nay na" is approached through the village of Mgarr with its surrounding fields in which, whatever the season , farmers seem to be working.
Behind the silver domed parish church dedicated to the Virgin Mary , the crooked road leads to a steep uphill, then down, minutes away, to the beach. The car park touches the sands.
The 46 Bus route goes only as far as Mgarr; the walk is about 15 minutes and hitching is acceptable.
Gnejnas sand is mixed with shingle with to the right a short stretch of smooth white rock. On the left of the bay are beach facilities- in this instance, only cold drinks and packet snacks are sold from mobile Kiosks.

Once you
arrive at the beach for a small adventure you can go
further along the coast on foot eastwards towards the
clay slopes.
