PETER'S POOL and Hofra z-Zghira (The Small Hole) are snuggled below high-ground on the eastern side of the Delimara Peninsula. The sea is not shallow, but it is exceptionally blue and crystal clear.

Swimming is always off the rocks from elevated limestone ledges which have been worn smooth by the lapping of the waves over the years. Access to these places is by footpaths down the hillslope.

Cars must be left on the highground on the Delimara Road. This slight inconvenience is well repaid by the cool waters.
