Beach overall scores
Morina Bay (Malta) is located outside the Manikata settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the coast of the Malta island and the correct question is not how to get to Morina Bay, but what mode of transport can be used to get to it, because this part of the coast is inaccessible by land. The beach can only be reached by water and you have to rent a boat to get there.
User reviews
"The descent to the beach was a bit challenging, but the place and the view were absolutely stunning. It's definitely worth taking a leisurely stroll amidst nature and enjoying the refreshing air. Unfortunately, swimming wasn't a good option due to the abundance of jellyfish during our visit."
Jenna Parris
"The views are absolutely stunning. The journey from the mainland to this place is not recommended for those who are easily scared."
