Almost all beaches have facilities to rent out sunbeds, umbrellas and a bite to eat but as a majority of Maltese we have the habit of carrying with us chairs, umbrellas, picnic coolers, bar-be-ques and other gadgets; and we just have fun.

Each beach has its own facilities such as parking and disabled parking, restaurants, lifeguards, swimming zones, blue flag beaches and more.

Sandy beaches are the most popular within the Maltese as it is safer and more fun for the children. During summer, all sandy beaches are well frequented with locals.

rocky beaches in Malta

For those who wish to be more adventurous, rocky beaches are an obvious choice. Maltese people love swimming, and our rocky coast with its low-lying rocks allows easy access to our several Malta beaches. At the same time we suggest to be cautious as not all areas are safe and suitable for swimming for obvious safety reasons.
