About this Beach
The unusually vivid orange-red sand is entirely natural, the result of iron-bearing clay minerals washed down from the surrounding hillsides over thousands of years. According to Gozitan tradition, Homer based Calypso's island on Gozo and the cave above the bay is where she kept Odysseus captive for seven years.
