Buġibba Perched Beach, Mediterranean beach in St. Paul's Bay, Malta
Buġibba Perched Beach is a shore on Malta's northern coast that sits about 6 meters (20 feet) above sea level with views across the Mediterranean. A wide promenade runs along the waterfront and provides several points to reach the water below.
St. Paul's Bay has served as a natural harbor for Mediterranean ships since ancient times and holds centuries of maritime use. The area developed over time as a sheltered stopping point for different peoples passing through these waters.
Fishermen work near the shore and bring their catch to nearby restaurants that serve traditional Maltese seafood prepared simply.
The beach is easy to reach from the promenade, and bus stops connect the area to other towns across Malta. You can visit throughout the year, though the warmer months draw more swimmers and sunbathers.
The elevated position creates natural viewing levels with different angles to watch boats passing and see the nearby St. Paul's Islands. From different heights along the shore you can observe passing vessels and enjoy changing perspectives of the islands.
