Dingli Cliffs are Malta's highest point (253m above sea level) with sheer cliffs above the sea. A small chapel of St. Mary Magdalene stands on the edge. Views of Filfla and unforgettable sunsets.
Dingli Cliffs on Malta's western coast are the island's highest point, rising 253 metres above sea level. Sheer white limestone cliffs drop straight into the sea, creating a dramatic scene. On the horizon, the tiny islet of Filfla is visible, uninhabited and protected as a nature reserve.
On the very edge of the cliff stands the small Chapel of St. Mary Magdalene, dating to the 17th century. Beside it is an aviation radar station. The contrast between the tiny chapel and the vastness of sea and sky is remarkable. It is one of Malta's most photographed spots.
The cliffs face west, making them an ideal sunset spot. The sun sinks into the sea directly before you, bathing the cliffs in gold and orange. An evening walk along the edge (about 3 km from Dingli to Clapham Junction) is one of the best free things to do on Malta.
Practical tip: Bus 56 from Valletta to Dingli, or drive. There are no safety barriers at the cliff edge, so be careful (especially with children and in wind). The Cliffs pub near the chapel serves beer with a view.
