Malta isn’t known for its spectacular beaches but it does have a few to be proud of. In fact, there are three beautiful beaches all within walking distance on the north-west side of the island. As I’d been driving a lot over the last few days I decided to park up and try my luck at walking solo along the coast and visiting all three. Malta is a terrific holiday destination and I figured not only would I see some of Malta’s best beaches but also some lesser known spots as I made my way along the trail.

I started at the colourful boat sheds that line the bay of Ġnejna Beach and then headed across the warm sand chasing one of Malta’s most incredible sights - the sunset! The plan was to finish my walk up on a cliff near the final beach and watch the sun drop below the horizon way out across the Mediterranean Sea. Being solo in Malta I was completely in charge of my own movements and time.

The walk took me across limestone rocks and beneath defensive towers and steep cliffs. At times the path weaved up close to the top of the hills before turning and dropping back down towards the water’s edge. I passed a nudist beach and before I knew it I was scaling up the side of a clay hill whilst trying to avoid a sudden drop on one side. I came to see the beaches but was thoroughly enjoying my solo walk along the Maltese coast - a walk which was a little more challenging than I anticipated!

Standing at the top of the clay cliffs was a serene moment. The seemingly endless patterns of the sea, Qarraba Bay deserted close by, Għajn Tuffieħa viewpoint rising out of the huge rocks and tourists snorkeling in the calm waters below. A relaxing moment if ever I’ve experienced one.

On the other side of the rocky headland lay Ghajn Tuffieħa Bay, or as I’ve heard it called Riviera Beach. If you happen to read any articles on beautiful beaches in Malta this one seems to be consistently in the top 3 and for good reason. It’s positioned in a lovely little cove and although it’s fairly small the sand is tender and the views are perfect. It’s also surrounded by a steep hillside which deflects the wind away on a blowy day.

After a brief stop I headed back up onto the cliffs and towards a limestone watchtower built during the Order of Saint John. From there I could see over my final destination of Golden Bay, aptly lit up in a golden light as the sun began to set in the distance. What perfect timing and what an incredible location to see my second Maltese sunset of the solo road trip.

As I headed down the steep hills of Golden Bay I was seriously losing the light but it was still nice to take a walk along the beach and relax for a bit. The sky was painted in some of the most vivid colours I’d ever seen and the sound of the ocean intoxicated me. It sure was a great place to end my walk past three of the best beaches in Malta.
