The beach is also known as Għajn Tuffieħa, which means "Apple's Eye" in Maltese. Characteristics: - It's a relatively secluded sandy beach - The beach is surrounded by clay slopes and rocky cliffs - It has reddish-golden sand Access: The beach can be reached by a flight of stairs (over 100 steps), which contributes to its more secluded nature. Facilities: Despite being less developed than some other Maltese beaches, it typically has basic amenities like sunbeds and umbrellas for rent during the peak season. Activities: Popular for swimming, sunbathing, and some water sports. The area is also favored by hikers and photographers due to its scenic beauty. Nearby attractions: The beach is close to the Għajn Tuffieħa Tower, a 17th-century watchtower built by the Knights of Malta. Best time to visit: Like most Mediterranean beaches, it's busiest during the summer months (June to September), but can be enjoyed in the milder spring and autumn seasons as well.

As beautiful as it is full of people. It is a challenge to find a a spot to place your towel and once you do, expect people to constantly walk close by you as you take your sunbath because the sandband is so narrow. The water is very clean with some occassional rocks on the bottom. We saw a big jellyfish near the shore that seemed to be dead. Also worth mentioning, it takes 5 minutes to get to either of the cliffs that enclose the bay and the views from there are stunning. There is also a restaurant with a pleasant terrace.

Pretty big beach with very fine sand and an amazing water color. You can rent a sunbed or sit on the sand, there is plenty of space. Be aware you might see a lot of jellyfish if you are snorkeling, but the ones that we encountered were not harmful. Getting to it by bus from the southern part of the island is, on the other side a big pain. On our way back, the bus was almost 2 hours late, and when it finally arrived, it was full and didn't even stop. We were forced to get an Uber in the end.

Nice, secluded beach accessible on stairs. There is a quite big parking lot and several bus lines have a stop nearby. Crystal clear water, red sand. Renting an umbrella is recommended for a full-day stay, as there is zero shade. By lunchtime the whole bay area fills up with people. In the far end there is almost no seaweed, the area close to the restaurant and other facilities has less clean water. There is a free restroom and the shower can be used for 1 EUR/minute (works with a token).

Not like we expected!!! Beach was extremely crowded and dirty. In pictures it looks huge but in reality it’s quite narrow. Because of enormous number of people we walked by the shore and found little beach that was probably nude-beach but we stayed because at least it was clean and more empty. Another reason why we stayed was that the beach was closer to rocks from where we could see spectacular sunset. And that is the only reason why you should come there.

Okey beach to spend one day. Umbrellas and beds are 6/8e. Small beach,gets crowded at 10am already. Water is beautifully clear till around 13h then becomes muddy and not nice to swim at all. There was water sports,we took SUP for one hour for 20euro and it was fun. Restaurant on the beach is beautifully but so crowded, best to book im advice cause people were waiting for 2-3hrs for a table, we took pizza to the beach. Uber is available within a minute.
