5 of Malta's Most Beautiful Secluded Bays

Image
It is no secret that during the Summer months the beaches in Malta can get a little bit noisy and overcrowded, especially during the weekends or on one of the public holidays. We decided to list some of our favourite secluded bays which, although won't be completely deserted, their location makes them a bit quieter than some of the more popular beaches. 1. St. Peter's Pool, Delimara Point St. Peter's Pool is located close to the fishing village of Marsaxlokk, on the East coast of Malta. This is a rocky bay, and access to the sea is by jumping from the rocks, or by ladder. Getting there is not easy, and you will need to park your car and walk down to the beach.

Focus On: L-Imgarr

For our third post in this series, I will be focusing on the village of L-Imgarr which is located in the northern part of the island. This village is surrounded by rich farmland and vineyards, meaning it is quite isolated. Most of the locals work in the agriculture industry, and throughout the years the village has managed to retain it's charm and tranquillity. The rustic environs surrounding Mgarr provide a number of picturesque spots ideal for a nice walks (and even a couple of pretty beaches). These include Bingemma, Wardija, Fomm Ir-Rih, Gnejna Bay and Ghajn Tuffieha. Although Mgarr is quite a remote village, it has quite a long history with many of Malta's historical rulers leaving a footprint in Mgarr. For example one can find some examples of megalithic temples, punic tombs, ancient quarries, Roman remains (specifically the baths situated near Golden Bay) and the two towers left by the Knights of St. John.  What to See & Do: Festa Frawli 2015 Festa Fr...
