Golden Bay, named for its wide stretch of golden sand and crystal clear waters

is known in Maltese as ‘Ir-Ramla tal-Mixquqa,’ meaning ‘The Sandy Bay of the Cracked (promontory)’. The beach is surrounded by natural dunes and jagged cliffs, topped with a 17th-century watchtower built by the Knights of Malta. The distinct yellow-orange sands lead to blue-green shallow waters that gradually deepen.
Situated on Malta’s northwest coast, near Riviera Beach (Ghajn Tuffieha Bay) and Gnejna Bay, Golden Bay offers spectacular sunsets over the Mediterranean Sea.
