Amazing nature reserve, we went specifically to look for chameleons. The park can easily be accessed via bus or car, just be aware of the opening days & hours, can be found on their website. The park is free of charge. We got in at 14:00, immediately when the park opened and it was very quiet. The walking trail is very short, so take your time. In total we spotted four chameleons! Some advice on how to spot them: - Go early to the park when it’s open. We spotted chameleons close to the trail, but when they saw us, some started to move farther away from the trail, making it harder to be spotted by someone else - With regards to above, do not touch the animals or get too close to them. You’ll only scare them off - They can be found on eye level, or higher. We didn’t see any lower or closer to the ground. - Take. Your. Time. After every five steps we stopped to look around a bit. - No need to be very quiet or anything. In fact, the first chameleon we spotted was very close to the entrance, and we only saw it because he was slowly moving away from us due to some noise. (Our kid was whining he wanted some candy. As we found our first chameleon because of him, he did get a lot of candy) Of course, most people actually visit this park for the birds, but that just isn’t my cup of tea to be completely honest.

Один из редких песчаных пляжей на Мальте. Хорошее местечко, но песок засратый и не видно было, чтоб пляж убирали. Для мусора стоит очень много контейнеров и люди туда выбрасывают свое наеденное/напиток, но на песке остается много каких-то водорослей и мелкого мусора. В общем, хотелось бы, чтобы песок как-то почистили. Также у берега собирается много водорослей и их не убирают. Стоимость. Вход на пляж свободный. За один зонтик с двумя лежаками надо платить 13€ в будний день, 15€ с пятницы по воскресенье, 10€ - если пришли на пляж часов с 14.00. Мороженое в пляжных датчиках стоит 2-3€, какой-то хот-дог, бургер, репс - 5€. Можно приходить со своей подстилкой, судочками, зонтиком и отдыхать бесплатно - никто ничего не скажет. Песок днем очень нагревается, а на пляже нет деревянных дорожек. Зато есть туалеты (бесплатные и удовлетворительно чистые) и два душа на всю линию пляжа (бесплатные). По пляжу стоит где-то 3-4 ларька с едой, напитками, так что очень удобно. Безопасность мы на прочность не проверяли - не оставляли вещи без присмотра, так как Мальта уже перестала быть такой безопасной.

We saw a chameleon at 35°58'07.6"N 14°20'50.9"E on the tree, along the trail. It was very hard to spot this creature. We have also seen a couple of gekkos on the side of the green buildings. You have to be extremely quiet and careful because they are very timid and run away quickly.

Great well kept nature reserve. Our kids were allowed to borrow a pair of binoculars which added to their experience hugely. We saw a baby flamingo which they were thrilled about. The volunteers were knowledgeable and friendly.

Very peaceful haven. We walked around slowly and observed quite a few creatures. Unfortunately at the time we went there were no birds resting however we will go again until we are lucky to be there at the right time.

Lovely, peaceful small nature reserve right next to Mellieha Bay Beach. We saw a pair of lovely flamingos and lots of other wildlife. Friendly and informative staff. Recommend a quick visit
