This is my preferred beach in Malta. It has clean, fine sand and the water is incredibly clear. They offer all the necessary facilities for free, including showers, toilets, and changing rooms. The restaurant is excellent, with a friendly and professional staff. The food is truly delicious, especially their paella on Sundays and public holidays. The prices are reasonable as well. You have the option to either rent a sunbed and umbrella or bring your own. Additionally, there are a few trees that provide natural shade.

This public beach offers all the amenities you could ask for, including restrooms, showers, and fast-food stands. You can even rent a sunbed with a sunshade for ultimate relaxation. While the sea is warm and inviting, there may be some litter during high tide. The only downside is the sunbed renters who start packing up as early as 4 pm, causing a lot of noise and disturbance until 6 pm. Despite this, the beach is still a great spot to soak up the sun and enjoy the ocean.
