Fond Għadir, Blue Flag rock beach in Sliema, Malta
Fond Għadir is a rock beach in Sliema featuring natural stone platforms and deep water along the waterfront. The beach connects two popular bays and offers different areas with varying water depths for swimming.
The area was once used for salt production in small compartments scattered along the shoreline. These old salt pans were later repurposed into modern sunbathing areas for visitors.
This rock beach is where locals come to swim and spend time with friends throughout the year. The natural stone platforms have become a gathering point that brings the community together regularly.
The beach has lifeguards, showers, toilets, and snack kiosks available for visitors. It is helpful to bring water and sunscreen, as the rock surfaces get very hot under the sun.
The beach contains natural rock pools with sandy bottoms that create different water depths. These pools allow children and less experienced swimmers to spend time in sheltered areas.
