Malta<\/strong> is an archipelago in the middle of the Mediterranean<\/strong> Sea<\/strong>, so people swim on the islands almost everywhere. There are not many real beaches with sand – the islands are steep and rocky, and the entrance to the sea is often rocky. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are three types of beaches in Malta and Gozo: pebble<\/strong>, stone<\/strong>, and sand<\/strong>. Blue flags fly over the beaches, a sign of cleanliness and safety. And there are beaches in Malta where the water is unrealistically turquoise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rocky beaches are not so convenient, but they are usually located near major tourist centers. They are often equipped with stairs and descents into the water, and the water is always clear and clean. Rocky beaches can be found in all popular tourist destinations: in Sliema<\/strong>, there are no other beaches there, there are places to enter the sea from a ladder in Valletta<\/strong>, but still, people do not go to the capital of Malta for swimming in the sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s take a look at the best beaches, infrastructure, and accommodation in Malta<\/strong>, Gozo<\/strong>, and Comino<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sandy beaches of Malta<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are not many sandy beaches in Malta, but they do exist and there is a very different infrastructure around them. But for the most part, if you come to Malta for a seaside vacation, you can always find sand, a good hotel or apartment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the largest sandy beaches on the island of Malta is the beach in Mellieha Bay<\/strong>. This is a large, gently sloping sandy beach, which is comfortable for families with children due to the long, shallow entrance to the sea. There are several outlets on the beachfront where you can buy refreshments and snacks. In summer, you can rent a sun lounger and umbrella. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And near the beach, on its northern side, there is the town of Mellie\u0127a, which is mostly designed for beach tourists. There is a wide range of accommodation, restaurants, and it is easily accessible by bus from Valletta, St. Julian’s, and the airport. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
