Xlendi Reef is located in the middle of Xlendi Bay.  Part of the reef forms a pinnacle, which reaches up to within a metre of the surface.  The reef is covered with seaweed and small fish.  One can also see large numbers of damselfish, small groups of grey mullets as well as various species of wrasses and seabreams.  The base of the reef is littered with large boulders.  The reef comes to an end below the steep cliffs. 

Maximum depth - 25 metres
