🏖️ Malta's Best Beaches

The most iconic sandy beach in Malta — a wide crescent of golden sand backed by red cliffs. Has a beach bar, sun loungers and a lifeguard. Spectacular at sunset.

Malta longest sandy beach, stretching over 500m with shallow calm water perfect for families. Has water sports, restaurants and ample parking.

A stunning natural swimming pool carved into the limestone by centuries of waves. Crystal-clear turquoise water and dramatic rock formations. Short walk from the road.

Gozo finest beach and arguably the best in the Maltese archipelago. Distinctive orange-red sand, clear water and a beautiful rural backdrop. Quieter than Malta beaches.

Not a traditional beach but the most photogenic swimming spot in Malta. Impossibly turquoise water and white sand beneath the surface. Accessible by boat only.

A wilder less crowded alternative to nearby Golden Bay — accessed by 200 steps down the cliff. No facilities which keeps the crowds away. Stunning views.

Gozo main resort town has a pleasant bay with calm water, restaurants along the waterfront and excellent snorkelling around the rocky outcrops.

A large sheltered bay popular with local Maltese families. Has a sandy area, shallow water and a local feel away from tourist crowds. Good facilities.

Malta northernmost beach — sandy, shallow and popular with Maltese summer regulars. Has a beach bar and a more local relaxed atmosphere than the big tourist beaches.

A charming little bay in Gozo with excellent snorkelling and diving, and a wonderful selection of waterfront restaurants. More about atmosphere than swimming.
