Just north of Valletta (Il-Belt Valletta), St Julian's (San Ġiljan) is one of Malta's main tourist destinations, developed into one of the island's most popular nightlife and entertainment spots, its unique views are of extraordinary beauty.
Originally a small port town located between Spinola Bay and Balluta Bay, through the years St. Julian's developed as an exciting key reference point for tourism in Malta, its offer meets even the most demanding needs, hotels of quality, restaurants and fashionable nightclubs are scattered everywhere but mainly located in the Paceville district, the lively heart of the nightlife area. But St. Julian's is also a great destination for relaxing holidays away from the busy chaos of the city center, an unique experience will be for locals and tourists to breath fresh air on a golden sand beach with a blue sky and the entire Spinola Bay in the background while enjoying the sun or to walk along the elegant seaside promenade (that reaches the nearby city of Sliema) and be completely enraptured by the beauty of a multicoloured sunset; shined brightly at night, St. Julian's offers the unique opportunity to experience a romantic dining under the stars with spectacular views over the bay...The city still keeps intact its origins of picturesque port town jutting into the Mediterranean Sea, animated by the coloured traditional Maltese fishing boats (Il-Luzzu).
St. Julian's boasts a number of must see tourist attractions, such as the Spinola Palace, a masterpiece of Latin architecture built in 1658 by the Italian knight Giovanni Spinola and located in the heart of the Paceville district, the old parish church that was pulled down, reconstructed anew in 1593, rebuilt and much more decorated than the previous one in 1730, or the breathtaking views from Villa Dragonara, today Dragonara Casino, on the headland of St George's Bay; as St. Julian's enjoys idyllic weather conditions year-round, it is a haven for water sports enthusiasts, diving, snorkeling, swimming, parasailing, wakeboarding while enjoying magnificent views of the Mediterranean will offer moments of pure emotions.

Alan, I followed the lift again this morning. Hope they had a good season.
Well Stig I missed it again boat is up high and dry I would love to know how much Tuna they catch in the season
Stig it looks like they are getting ready for the Tuna boat to come out of the water Blocks of stone are out ready on the dock
Great to see the med' storms have blown over and temps again rising. Remember temps of late 20's at midnight as late as last weeks in Octobe
Cheers MWH, very informative, thank you.
Hi Derek. I think what Sam means is the boats are starting to be lifted out of the water. Looking a the choppy footage a few days ago I don't blame the owners and looking at the colour of the water, now seems a good time unless you want your pride and joy on the rocks Obviously commercial and fishing boats will stay in but the water can get really rough even in a sheltered harbour. My boat will be coming out end of Oct and she's only on a river!
