When we asked locals about the prettiest beaches in Malta, Golden Bay was a name that kept coming up. Located along Malta’s northwestern coast, Golden Bay is known for its wide stretch of golden sand, beautiful Mediterranean water, and surrounding hills.
Compared with many of Malta’s rocky swimming spots, Golden Bay has a true sandy beach, which helps make it one of the island’s more popular places for swimming and spending the day by the water. The beach is also relatively easy to access and has restaurants and other facilities nearby.
