This beautiful stretch of beach is located next to Golden Bay and can only be reached by climbing 180 steps. The beach is particularly popular with younger couples and those seeking a more tranquil and secluded day at the beach in the most breath-taking of surroundings.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ghadira Bay, Mellieha<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In complete contrast to Ghajn Tuffieha, Ghadira Bay in Mellieha is easily accessed and is Malta\u2019s largest sandy beach. Having been described as being \u201cone of the best beaches in the whole of the Mediterranean\u201d, Ghadira Bay certainly lives up to its reputation and is an exceedingly popular beach, particularly at the weekends. The facilities at Ghadira Bay can only be described as being \u2018excellent\u2019, with snack bars, cafes, sun beds and a comprehensive choice of water sports tastefully scattered across the beach. Due to its easy access and great facilities, Ghadira Bay is a fantastic beach for all the family.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Paradise Bay<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For fervent snorkelers and diving enthusiasts a trip to Paradise Bay is imperative. Although, as its name suggests, this beautiful beach is a picture of perfection and is well worth a trip even if your day at the beach is not snorkelling motivated. Located in Northern Malta close to the town of Cirkewwa, the secluded bay is a haven for divers and consequently there is a diving school there which is open all year round.<\/p>\n<p>Given its seclusion and emphasis on snorkelling, Paradise Bay mostly attracts a younger crowd and is notorious for its beach parties.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The island of Malta is surrounded by a parameter of beautiful sandy beaches that are perfect for swimming, sunbathing, snorkelling and taking the children.
