This small but so stunning beach in St. Julian's (San Ġiljan) belongs to St. George's Bay (Bajja ta' San Ġorġ) situated in the heart of the Mediterranean.
Well known in the whole island for being in the center of Paceville, the nightlife capital of Malta, and Pembroke, this so charming and golden beach gives us the unique chance to relax in summer sun, it is perfect for swimming, even till evening while enjoying a social life and having fun with a number of exciting opportunities. Restaurants, pubs, night-clubs, discos are scattered everywhere and all within a short walking distance, a brilliant atmosphere is offered by day and night, flocks of dancing people, especially younger ones, are attracted by music and fun till sunrise...
Panoramic views of extraordinary beauty and exceptionally warm water make St. George's Bay a paradise for recreational and water activities, moreover it still keeps its traditional features of a fishing town, it will be very easy to see a number of fishing vessels and fishermen on the docks but St. George’s Bay was not always so popular and attractive as one of the most visited Maltese holiday destinations, it saw positive development over the years thanks to the growth of the tourist offer rich today in resorts, entertainment centers, luxurious hotels, high quality restaurants, discos and casinos, shopping centers all within easy reach of the golden St. George's beach, recently also a Blue Flag beach and rightly considered one of the most beautiful beaches of Malta; after all, dining in fine restaurants or in outdoor terraces overlooking the whole bay terraces for a romantic rendez-vous, enjoying superb sunrises or being present at a magnificent sunshine will be really a great experience!

Hi Linda, how lovely to hear from you! I've often thought of you especially after the disastrous holiday last year! I'm so happy that you're keeping well and fingers crossed, this continues. Keep enjoying the sunshine with your family. Thanks for your kind thoughts, I'm well at the moment. My treatment has gone well so far but the after effects have hit me hard the last few months. I'm going in for another operation hopefully before Christmas, so holidays are on hold! We haven't been over to Qawra this year but I've started looking for flights etc for next year. Keep on travelling Linda and as our friend Derek James Bevan ( I've not met him at the airport for a while either,a lovely gentleman) and all us Geordies say, gan canny pet. Viv Hodgson
Hi Viv, Been wondering about you Are you Ok ? I came back from Malta 2 weeks ago go again on 22 Oct then again on 19th Nov, The 22nd Oct is the last week for the Mellieha Bay Hotel,. Going try Sea Bank in Nov ? Have been to Malta 6 times altogether this year . Will keep going while I’m OK . Just had yearly scan and abs etc all OK as far as I know had no feed back from 4 weeks ago so presume I’m ok. Hope this finds you and your family OK . Linda Bourne.
I know it is not covered by this cam, but at the moment there are no Rabat cams, so was great to read in the TOM over the last few days that an application to transform two historic landmark townhouses in Rabat’s Saqqajja Hill into a luxury boutique hotel has been unexpectedly withdrawn. A petition was signed by over 3000 people to stop the development. So let’s hope they continue as private dwellings and this traditional street leading up to the entrance to Mdina remains as it is today
Strange? Most of my comment has been removed!
I sadly have to agree with the comments on here
Hi Derek, we have looked at the Sicily trip which included Mount Etna a number of times, but have never got round to doing it. Unfortunately we only ever manage to visit for a week due to having the shop, and the time just goes over too quickly. I'm really jealous that you are going there soon!
Margaret .same here I keep thinking of visiting other places other than Malta, I'll be back over in a month mind you I did do a trip from Malta to Mount Etna a few years back and very interesting it was too. gan canny.
Hi Gary, It was great, we will probably be back again in May. We keep thinking we should go to other places and then end up back in Malta.
Hope you enjoyed it Margaret, can't wait to go back. Be there again next June.
Regards ...... Gary
Gary, just to let you know we had a couple of drinks in Andrews bar at lunchtime, beach was very busy
Hi Margaret,
Hope you have a good time, we did & will be going back next June.
Andrews bar is almost directly under this web cam & is said to be the oldest Maltese pub still run by the founding family. (1909 I think)
I first went to Tony's bar in 1992, don't think the decor inside has changed very much.
Regards .... Gary
Hi Gary, Pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay in Sliema, unfortunately I think restaurant wise everywhere is the same. Haven't been to the other places that you mentioned (will have a look), but we liked Tony's Bar and went there a number of times in May. Going back for a week on the 9th September.
Stayed in Sliema 2 weeks ago with my wife and agree that it's not as good as it was : Three old Maltese restaurants we have used for years are now owned by eastern europeans, one is a Pizza cafe. An old pub is now eastern european after the buildiing owner increased the rent so much that the Maltese bar owner couldn't afford it! Pizza IS everywhere.
One eastern european lady I spoke to said that they refer to parts of Sliema as "Little Serbia" and will "own a huge portion of Sliema in 10 years".
I feel bad for the Maltese, but you can still find some treasures around : Cara's & Dixies by Exiles, Andrews bar in St Georges Bay, Sun in Splendour on the edge of Paceville, Tony's Bar & Salisbury Arms in Sliema.
Enjoyed ourselves & intend to go back next year. :-)
geoff hulloes. I am flummoxed to compare prices in Malta to UK being cheaper in Uk!! We go every year and we never spend 40 45 Euros on pizza or pasta In UK even a couple of coffees cost more than what you quoted. Go to eat in Senglea and you can have fish and chips for less than 2 Euros.
I've wondered before if these are homeless people on the beach all night...
Four weeks ago we were here, but after 20 yrs of visiting the time has come to say goodbye to this very expensive holiday island where the pizza and pasta trade dominate and eating out has become ultra expensive eg 3 course meal in uk of reasonable standard 20/25 euros in Malta 40/45 euros
