Northern Region must see attractions

1. Mellieha Bay

The huge aquamarine ocean opens up in front of you at Mellieħa Bay as you lie on your deckchair under your umbrella, soaking up the warmth of this unique place. Also known as Ghadira Bay, Mellieħa Bay’s beach is just under 0.5 mile (0.8 kilometer) long, which makes it one of the longest sandy beaches in Malta.

2. Bugibba Beach

3. Golden Sands Beach

Stretch out on the soft sand of the aptly named Golden Sands Beach on Golden Bay. Along with Mellieħa Bay, this is one of Malta’s most beloved beaches, for its fine granules which set it apart from the usual pebbly shorelines. The sea opens up in front of you here, framed by ragged cliffs, with the mysterious Ghajn Tuffieha tower just visible over scruffy hills.

See all the colorful critters that swim just off Malta’s beautiful coastline and have a fully immersive experience in the shark tunnel as these great beasts swim above you.
