A rocky natural swimming spot on the Delimara peninsula, near Marsaxlokk.
About St Peter’s Pool
St Peter’s Pool is a limestone inlet on the south-east coast of Malta. Pale rock ledges form a natural swimming area, quite different from the sandy beaches.
Swimming and things to do
Visitors come to swim and enjoy the coast. The shoreline is rocky, and water depth, swell and entry conditions can vary. Avoid jumping unless depth and underwater hazards are clearly known.
Enjoy the coastline
Explore from public paths and viewpoints. Keep clear of boats, marked channels and areas closed to visitors.
Access and practical information
Reached from the Delimara area by road and a final walk. The approach is uneven in places, so plan for a rocky walk and check access conditions before setting out.
Visitor notes
There is no broad sandy beach here. Bring water, wear footwear suitable for uneven ground and take rubbish back with you.
Bring drinking water, sun protection and suitable footwear for the terrain. Leave the coast as you found it and take rubbish away with you.
