The area features the 17th-century Red Tower, which overlooks the Gozo Channel, and the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Mellieħa, a site of pilgrimage since the Middle Ages. Visitors can explore the 1980 film set of Popeye Village at Anchor Bay, dive to the sunken P29 patrol boat, or hike to the secluded Imgiebah Bay.
