Beloved by young revellers, this shoreline in St. Julian’s is a rare stretch of sand along a generally rocky coast.

Take a dip in the salty Mediterranean Sea and stretch out on the sand under the sun at St. George’s Beach, north of St Julian’s township. While much of the area is quite busy with tourists and guests in high-rise hotels, this beach offers a chance to just relax and look out at the wide horizon.

Put on your diving gear, as this whole area is very popular for underwater exploring. Alternatively, visit one of the many outlets to rent a boat or Jet Ski to navigate your own ocean adventure. The pastel apartment blocks, shining golden in the sunlight, rise up from the shoreline, amid green trees and shrubs. Look for brightly colored boats anchored close to the shore. Along most of Malta’s coast, sunbathing is usually done on big rocks, so being able to lie under a beach umbrella here on the sand is quite a treat. Note as well that this beach has a Blue Flag award, a stellar recommendation for quality and safety. The beach is quite sheltered from winds. You won’t need to pay any entry fee.

While St. Julian’s and its surroundings were previously sleepy fishing villages, major building development projects have been going on in this neighborhood for more than 10 years, bringing the area to life for visitors. St. George’s Beach is near all the other attractions of this seaside vacation city, which means it’s still busy into the night with revelry.

Find a wide selection of hotels around St. George’s Beach. There are English schools as well, so get to the beach early on a summer day to have your choice of spots on the sand before kids and young adults arrive. Neighborhood students and visitors love to party, so even though Paceville is known as the nighttime heart of all of Malta, St. George’s Beach also has many places to go after dark. It’s very easy to walk to the shops at Paceville or get back to St Julian’s town center. Browse plenty of little shops in the streets behind the sand for souvenirs.

Get there in the morning to avoid the crowds and try and get a spot up the front near the water as the sun sets and shadows those closer to the road earlier.

It's a fairly small beach area and can get crowded, so arrive early.
