This tranquil photograph depicts Xlendi bay as it once was, with its sandy beach and a row of Tamarisk (Tamarix) trees lining the shoreline. Small maltese boats rest peacefully in the bay, embodying the village’s deep connection to fishing and the sea. The surrounding landscape showcases the simple architecture and untouched nature of the area. Over time, the sand and the iconic Tamarisk trees have been lost due to erosion and urban development, transforming Xlendi bay into a modern tourist hub. This image stands as a nostalgic glimpse into Xlendi’s serene past and its harmonious natural beauty.
