About Pretty Bay

Pretty Bay sits beside Birżebbuġa. Its sandy shoreline and promenade create a town-beach setting, with the surrounding harbour and port landscape forming part of the view.

Swimming and things to do

The beach is used for swimming and time by the sea. Visitors looking for a remote cove may prefer a different part of the coast. Check current water-quality notices and local guidance.

Enjoy the coastline

Explore from public paths and viewpoints. Keep clear of boats, marked channels and areas closed to visitors.

Access and practical information

The beach is within Birżebbuġa and can be reached on foot from the town. Local shops and services are nearby, though opening hours vary. Check current transport and parking before travelling.

Before you go: Check current bathing-water notices, local safety signs, access arrangements and seasonal services. Malta’s Environmental Health Directorate publishes official bathing-water information.

Visitor notes

Pretty Bay is convenient to combine with Birżebbuġa and the south-east coast. Check official bathing-water updates before swimming.

Bring drinking water, sun protection and suitable footwear for the terrain. Leave the coast as you found it and take rubbish away with you.

e-Malta tip: Check wind and sea conditions before choosing a swimming spot. For official bathing-water information, see the Environmental Health Directorate.
