Malta Beaches: Pretty Bay

They say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and the prettiness or otherwise of ‘Pretty Bay’ in Birzebugga depends on your perspective.

From one vantage point it’s all blue sea and sailboats bobbing gently in the surf…

…but glance over to the right and you are greeted by the site of a working port and gigantic shipping containers.

Still, you shouldn’t let that put you off.  Birzebugga is in the south of the island, and a popular place for expats who want to escape the throngs found in more northerly towns like Sliema or Bugibba.  It has a nice buy nolvadex airy feel, and the beach – although artificially created – is perfectly nice too.  The water is less choppy than on the other side of the island, and gets deeper gradually here meaning that it’s a good place to go with the kids.

Plenty of shops and restaurants nearby mean that you won’t starve, and being in the south means less tourists crowding onto the sand.  Although our first impressions of the place weren’t great, this beach grew on us, and Pretty Bay seemed like a pretty good description of this beach by the end of the day.
