The rough sea of the past few days partially destroyed the quay at Hondoq ir-Rummien Bay in Gozo, sending large concrete boulders right up to the beach.

Eyewitnesses said the waves had at times covered the entire beach. They also pointed out that the damage had revealed the remains of an older quay, believed to have been built early in the last century.

A spokesman for the Gozo Ministry said that although the quay was the responsibility of Qala Council, since the damage was considerable, the ministry would step in to help in the repair work.
