Overlooking the neighbouring islands of Comino and Gozo, these beaches are relatively popular, but less so than those of Mellieha Bay, so are somewhat less crowded. Like most Maltese swimming areas, the water is clean and clear here and is considered family-friendly.
What to see around Paradise Bay in Malta
Gozo
Gozo is the second largest island in the archipelago. This island of 30,000 permanent inhabitants is one of the most important tourist attractions in the Mediterranean. The island is famous for its countless tourist attractions, including the Ggantija Temples, hiking trails and its deep blue waters, ideal for swimming and snorkelling.
Gozo’s natural beauty is striking, and although it is a tourist destination, it has retained its authentic, rural essence. Throughout the island you will find farms, fields and a myriad of churches and parishes.
Comino
With an area of only 3.5 square kilometres, Comino has a lot to offer. This virtually uninhabited unspoilt island is the perfect place for water sports such as scuba diving and snorkelling, or for clearing your mind on the hiking trails.
Comino’s landscape is without a doubt the most striking feature of the island. Here you will find cliffs, beautiful caves carved into the rock and dreamlike coves. Comino is the perfect place to relax.
