Parks & Nature
Mistral Bay offers a beach. However, this beach has nice views but is not very comfortable. It is more suitable for the start of a hike along the coast, passing St. Pauls Islands where you can go for a dip into the sea (and where you will barely meet people as the area is not easily accessible for cars (only for Jeeps). On the walk, you will also pass Fort Campbell which is a historical site. If you are eager to walk even further, you can reach Selmun Bay which is a small beach where you will find only locals as this beach is not mentioned in the popular touristic guides..

Għadira Bay
Malta´s longest sand beach.
My personal favorite beach as it has stunning views and in case you feel up for some hiking, it offers you plenty of directions to choose.

Golden Bay Beach
Malta`s most popular beach
After a hike of 30 to 1 hour (depending on how fast you walk), you will end up on a rocky beach formed by sand stone. The historical salt pans have now build up a reef which is nice for snorkeling. Also, you can swim to St. Pauls island as it is only a stone through away.
