St. George's Bay

Popular but crowded beach with coarse sand and occasional litter problems.

  • Sandy
  • Moderately exposed
  • Shallow entry
  • Lifeguard
  • Beach bar

The local verdict

Worth visiting if you go early, but don't expect pristine conditions or solitude during normal hours. The sand quality is mediocre compared to other Maltese beaches.

Arrive before 9 AM if you want to avoid the crowds and have a chance at a decent spot. After mid-morning it becomes packed.

Common mistakes

People show up mid-morning expecting a quiet beach and are shocked by the crowds. Many also aren't prepared for the coarse, pebbly sand and bring beach gear suited for finer beaches.
