Golden Bay is one of Malta’s most stunning and popular beaches, known for its wide stretch of soft golden sand and clear, turquoise waters. Nestled between rugged cliffs and rolling countryside, it offers a perfect blend of natural beauty and tranquility. Popular with both locals and tourists, Golden Bay is ideal for swimming, sunbathing, and enjoying breathtaking Mediterranean sunsets. It’s also surrounded by walking trails that showcase Malta’s scenic coastal landscape.

Riviera Bay is a hidden gem on Malta’s northwest coast, offering a quieter, more peaceful alternative to the busier nearby beaches. With its reddish-golden sand, clear blue waters, and dramatic cliffs framing the shore, it’s perfect for those seeking natural beauty and solitude. Surrounded by unspoiled countryside and scenic walking paths, Riviera Bay provides breathtaking views and a serene escape into Malta’s coastal landscape.

Gnejna

Gnejna Bay is a picturesque sandy beach located on the western coast of Malta, near the town of Mgarr. It’s known for its clear blue waters, golden sand, and a charming, natural environment surrounded by limestone cliffs and agricultural land.

Gnejna Bay is a favorite spot for locals and visitors who enjoy swimming, snorkeling, and relaxing by the sea. Unlike some of Malta’s more crowded beaches, Gnejna offers a more tranquil and less commercialized experience. The bay is also popular with divers due to the underwater rock formations and marine life.
