The salt planes are a no fuss no miss historical stop just past the marsalforn bay. Saw lots of divers. We went to just look and stood on the raised curb/wall for a better vantage point. The best spot to see is if you follow the road up the hill parallel to the pans and look down (we mounted this hill on a quad).

Along Gozo’s rugged northwest coast, the centuries-old salt pans carve a striking geometric pattern into the limestone shoreline. Hand-chiseled by generations of local families, these shallow pools still produce sea salt using traditional methods passed down since the Romans. Visiting at sunrise or sunset offers breathtaking views as the golden light reflects off the crystal-lined pans. Watch as salt harvesters skillfully scrape the mineral-rich crystals—a backbreaking yet cherished craft. The nearby Salt Kitchen shop sells this "white gold" in its purest form, perfect for edible souvenirs. A testament to Gozo’s resilience, the salt pans blend natural beauty with living history. Free to visit, but respect the working areas.

Nice bit of coast to see where salt is traditionally still collected over the summer months. Really interesting to see, nice walk along the coastline while you're viewing them. There's a cafe there and public toilets. We went in off season so plenty of places to park, but could see in the summer months that it would be very busy.

Beautiful view and really not busy when we went to visit- barely any people. Stunning view of the sea, and the salt pans are gorgeous. Had a lovely cocktail nearby.

As beautiful as the pictures...in Victoria, you can buy Gozo sea salt from here that's several hundred years old! The salt pans are a marvel of nature and located at the end of a pleasant walk or drive from Marsalforn--but I recommend walking for the air.

Fantastic place to visit. Unique Limestone pans located abt 3km along the coast. There is a small kiosk in the rock cave where you can buy some salt and its products from lovely old couple.

Beautiful coastal walk along the water, interesting history regarding the salt collection. A nice family sells the salt directly at the location.

We visited the salt pans in March, which is a lovely time to visit. You can walk along the salt pans easily, and they are such a wonderful thing to photograph. The area is very suitable for walking.
