St. Peter's Pool, Natural swimming pool near Marsaxlokk, Malta
St. Peter's Pool forms a circular pool within limestone rocks, featuring stone steps carved into the cliffs that lead down to clear Mediterranean waters.
The pool developed naturally through centuries of wave action against the limestone cliffs, creating a sheltered swimming area for local fishermen.
Local residents gather at St. Peter's Pool during summer evenings to practice traditional cliff diving techniques from various heights around the natural basin.
Visitors need to walk 35 minutes from Marsaxlokk along an exposed coastal path or take a water taxi from the fishing village harbor.
The surrounding rock formations create multiple natural diving platforms at different heights, ranging from 2 to 5 meters above the water surface.
