| Bugibba & Surrounding areaThe North of Malta is the most rugged of all Malta's regions, and offers spectacular views across to Comino and Gozo. It also has Malta's most established beach and holiday resorts, Bugibba, Qawra, St Paul's Bay, and Malta's largest sandy beach at Mellieha. The countryside is characterised by steep limestone outcrops and deep fertile valleys. The terrain, typical of Mediterranean scrub, has a unique, isolated charm and is excellent for walking. 
Buggibba and Qawra are Malta's largest, seaside resort towns. The coastline promenade stretches from Salina Bay to St Paul's Bay taking in some of the Islands' best open sea views and a vista over to St Paul's Island. The shore is rocky, but that has not prevented the resorts' appeal. The flat rocks provide places for sun bathing and there are access points every so often for swimmers. The water is deep, but generally clean, clear and safe for bathing. The Qawra promontory to the north west has been developed into a distinct resort with hotels along the coastline and numerous holiday apartments just inland. Salina Bay takes its name from the salt pans cut in inner segment of this sea inlet. The water on both verges of the bay is not deep but is quite suitable for swimming off the rocks. The bay is popular throughout the summer.  Together Qawra and Bugibba now occupy almost the entire peninsula on the east side of St. Pauls bay. More or less merging with bugiba. Qawra is more restrained than its noisy popular neighbor, with a choice of slightly more superior accommodation. Hotels and apartments have been mushrooming here since the 1970`s. Like Bugibba there are plenty of bars , cafes and restaurants. The rocky beach has a restaurant and plenty of facilities for water sports enthusiasts.
Saint Pauls Bay , like many of the holiday resorts in Malta and Gozo, was a small fishing village dating back almost 1000 years. It grew after the war and provided summer residences for families living inland, a tradition still kept today. However, many young families have now settled here, making St Paul' Bay an all year resort. It's main physical attraction is the arguably best looking bay on the Islands, with the photogenic St Paul's Islet in the focal point. During the 1960's and 1980's, the area mushroomed into a major resort, and together with Bugibba and Qawra, today provide many holiday facilities and accommodation. One can walk along most of the coastline, which streches from Salina Bay right to Xemxija. The road continues on towards Mistra Bay, with Selmun Palace perched above it.
St Pauls Bay provides plenty of bars and restaurants to suit most budgets. A notable one is the 'Gillieru', one of the Island's foremost fish restaurants, situated at the heart of the old fishing village. |
