Good, there is a little molo and stairs to the water. No umbrellas, but you can find some shade under the small wall around the promenade. There are restaurants right on the beach, like Nine Lives when you can borrow a sunbed for 15€/person under the umbrella and stay there as long as you wish. Otherwise is like others beaches in Malta. No beach, no decreasing shelf, just a bit leveled rocks and stairs to the sea. Waters around Malta are priscine blue, ideal for snorkellers and divers. I wouldn't reccomend it though as a family vacation with an idea of a small infant playing in the water. Waters around Malta are for swimmers only and those who don't panic seeing the rocky beds with waves shattering through the cliffs and rocks. It's beautiful. But if you like calm waters with sandy beaches, not big waves, with slow decreasing shelf and a long distance to swim safely, Malta is NOT a swimming location for you. The area where you can swim safely is very small and right after you get to the water, it gets deep really quickly. Lots of fish and marine life to observe, beautiful cliffs, but not comfy for sunbathing and casually duckeling in the water.
