There’s no Sandy beaches along the sliema promenade stretch but heaps of flat rocks to lay on and heaps of pool ladders to help you into the water off the rocks.

But we have a 3yo kid so those weren’t options for us. Fond Ghadir was perfect for us. Small set of stairs down. Plenty of rock space to set up. The pond/pool area gradually tapers from ankle depth to head high to cater for all levels of abilities. There were lifeguards there both days we went even late into the afternoon. We also had fun looking around the rock pools and finding heaps of fish and crabs scampering about.

Downsides: the rocks are real smooth and mossy so quite slippery. Kind of entertaining watching people slip, try correct themselves, then slip again haha
