Malta Sandy Beaches - a complete list for the Maltese islands at your finger tips.
Families with young children look for easy and convenient sandy beaches where all the family can relax and be at ease. Or a group of youths wanting to play ball or frisbee in the sea or play handball on the sand. Sandy beaches offer a mix for all.
A sandy beach makes sunbathing more comfortable too with the soft sand underneath you rather than hard rock. It is also easier to pitch up a beach umbrella for instant shade from the hot sun.

For those who love rocky beaches Malta is the ideal place. There is an abundance of locations and with many different features that provides you with a selection of places to visit during your holiday. The Maltese are spoilt for choice and so is the visitor.
We have made a selection of the most popular but in truth there are much more as most of the coastline is available for swimming. We would like to draw your attention to the need to be careful for the weather conditions. Also before jumping into the sea be sure to have made a note of an easy way to climb out of the water as this is not always easy due to the rock formation.
When you are here on holiday you will surely observe the Maltese swimming along many parts of the coastline. You can use them as your safety beacon and be sure that it is an area safe for swimming. You will see them bar-b-quing, camping, fishing, walking, lazing, sunbathing, snorkeling – always by the seashore.

Hondoq ir-Rummien is a lovely small sandy beach situated on the south eastern coast of the island of Gozo. It can be reached through the village of Qala. The last piece of road is steep but then you find ample place to park your car. No public transport is available to this beach.
You need to go early to find a secluded place but depending on the period of time during the year as it is very popular with the locals. The sea gets deep quickly from the sandy area. There are various spots from where you can dive into the deep water especially from the left side as there is a concrete jetty at a fair level above sea level.
It is an open bay facing Comino island. During the summer period it is easy to find a local kiosk selling snacks and drinks as it is fairly far away to buy the necessities if you do not get with you. It is an excellent location for a bar-b-que.
Since the sea is very clear and there are small caves at water level makes it an attractive area for snorkeling and diving.
