In my opinion, this beach is one of the most untamed and captivating spots on the island. With its Caribbean-like water, fragrant flowers and plants, and the delightful sound of birds chirping, it truly is a remarkable place. Situated near San Peters Pool, this beautiful bay is not crowded and is perfect for those seeking serenity in nature. It's approximately a 20-minute walk from San Peters Pool. Once you reach the cliffside, there is a pedestrian entrance and a closed iron bar that restricts car access. From the bar, the trekking route to the beach takes about 7 to 10 minutes. It's not too challenging for experienced hikers, although there are some sections where less experienced individuals may need to use their hands to descend. Once you reach the beach, the view is breathtaking, allowing you to fully appreciate the tranquility of the location and the crystal-clear water. One important tip is to bring shoes suitable for walking on rocks, as the beach is covered in stones that can be slippery.

Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Bay Beach (Malta island) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Bay Beach (Malta island) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Bay Beach for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.
