Għajn Tuffieħa Bay
A sandy cove beneath the north-western headlands.
About Għajn Tuffieħa
Għajn Tuffieħa Bay lies beside Golden Bay on the north-west coast. The beach is set below the surrounding slopes, giving it a tucked-away feel and wide views along the coast.
Swimming and things to do
The sand is suited to a traditional beach visit, while the headlands offer coastal scenery. The staircase and slope make the return climb part of the visit. Assess sea conditions before swimming.
Enjoy the coastline
Explore from public paths and viewpoints. Keep clear of boats, marked channels and areas closed to visitors.
Access and practical information
Main access involves a long flight of steps down from the clifftop. Take care and allow time for the uphill return. Check which facilities are open before travelling.
Visitor notes
Bring water and allow extra time for the stairs, especially in hot weather or when visiting with small children.
Bring drinking water, sun protection and suitable footwear for the terrain. Leave the coast as you found it and take rubbish away with you.
