St. Paul's Bay

The expansive bay stretches along Malta's northeastern coastline, featuring clear waters and a developed waterfront with numerous residential buildings and tourist facilities.

According to religious texts, Saint Paul's shipwreck occurred in this bay during his journey to Rome in 60 AD, marking the beginning of Christianity in Malta.

The area contains several archaeological sites, including megalithic temples in Bugibba and Xemxija, along with Punic tombs and Bronze Age remains dating to 4000 BC.

The region offers extensive accommodation options, from hotels to holiday apartments, and maintains regular bus connections to major destinations across Malta.

The Wignacourt Tower, constructed in 1610, stands as Malta's oldest surviving watchtower and continues to guard the northern coast of the island.
