The beach is lovely and well-maintained, with clear blue water. It's not overly crowded, and while there are no facilities like showers or changing rooms, there are public restrooms conveniently located nearby. The harbor views are especially captivating and offer something unique to enjoy.

This lovely location boasts crystal clear blue-green waters that are perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and exploring. You can lounge on the flat rocks or take a refreshing dip in the water. For the more adventurous, there are various heights to jump from into the glistening water. Despite its popularity, the beach may become quite crowded during the summer months. However, during the winter season, it's a peaceful retreat. Even on the first day of the year, with temperatures at a comfortable 18 degrees, this beach is a great place to relax and enjoy the stunning scenery.

St George's Bay
8 Natalie Novakova

This charming sandy beach may be small, but it is an ideal spot for a refreshing swim. You'll find a handful of food shops within easy walking distance, making it convenient to grab a snack or drink. The atmosphere is incredibly calming, and you can soak up the sun for a perfect tan. However, it's worth noting that there may not be any lockers available, so if you're solo and planning to take a dip, you may need to ask a friendly beachgoer to keep an eye on your belongings.

Il-Kalanka beach
10 Sarina Kaur Sandhu.

What an incredible spot! Visited during the early evening on July 25th and the beach was pleasantly uncrowded. The water was a delightful temperature and we were thrilled to find no jellyfish in sight. We opted to park our car near the shore due to concerns about the road's condition, but upon walking we discovered it was much better than anticipated. The road leading to the bay was wider and smoother than the images on Google Maps led us to believe. We had a fantastic time and would highly recommend this beach to others.
