This beautiful family-friendly beach has it all: the top-notch amenities of a well-developed tourist destination and the pristine atmosphere of an unspoilt natural site. The lovely golden-sand shoreline of Golden Cove, which runs along a small bay on Malta's rugged northwest coast, is rather large. There is plenty of space for sunbathing visitors to spread out.

The beach is surrounded by shrub-covered cliffs and hillsides, which provide wind protection. The place has a secluded feel due to its undeveloped rural surroundings. The nearest road can't be seen from the beach, and there's no traffic noise to drown out the soothing sound of gently crashing waves.

Golden Bay Beach is known for its turquoise seas that are stunningly pure. In general, the swimming and snorkeling conditions are great. During the high season, lifeguards patrol the beach and flags are used to express safety warnings. The beach is well-equipped, with public restrooms, changing rooms, and a kiosk where you may hire lounge chairs and beach umbrellas. There's also a beachfront snack shop with fantastic sea views that serves sandwiches, snacks, and coffee drinks on a patio.

The five-star Radisson Blu Resort & Spa, which overlooks Golden Bay, is a popular choice for summer beach vacations. Because of its numerous restaurants and excellent guest services, this resort is particularly appealing to families with children. Popeye Village, a children's attraction about a 15-minute drive from the hotel, is another appeal. Golden Bay Beach is known for its beautiful sunsets, which are a highlight for tourists staying the night.

The largest beach on Gozo Island is Ir-Ramla il-Hamra, often known as Ramla Bay. The beach has a long, wide beach with fine reddish sand and few rocks along the shore breaks. Ir-Ramla il-Hamra is a genuinely unique beach with a nice bucolic environment. The large beach is nestled in a rich valley surrounded by rolling hills where agricultural thrives. The hike here from the towns of Nadur or Xaghra is framed by steep cliffs that frame the coastline leading to the beach and give spectacular scenery.

The waves are modest and safe for swimming and snorkeling because the beach is located in a sheltered harbor. Another advantage is that the seafloor is shallow, making the beach excellent for splashing around with children. Public bathrooms and change rooms are available in Ramla Bay. There are snack shops, ice cream stands, and stands that rent out lounge chairs and beach umbrellas during the summer. Unfortunately, there are no lifeguards on duty at this beach. The beach is centered on a statue of the Virgin Mary (Our Lady of Hope). This statue was erected in 1881.

Ghajn Tuffieha (Maltese meaning "Apple's Eye," also known as Riviera) is located on Malta's northwestern coast, behind the small settlement of Manikata. Unlike nearby Golden Bay, Ghajn Tuffieha Bay is less accessible, but it appears to be almost unspoiled by man, with natural beauty all around. Because the beach is smaller than that of Golden Bay, it might get crowded during high season.

It easily rates #1 on the list of top beaches in Malta of many people, with clay hills and towering cliffs on either side of the sea, red sand, and clean, clear water. To go down to the shore, you'll have to descend a long flight of steps (about 100), so save some of your energy for the climb back up. If you're not too concerned about your health, it's the ideal spot for a relaxing afternoon of swimming, sunbathing, and watching the clouds pass by. Sun beds and umbrellas may be rented here, and there's a snack shop on the beach that serves some nice meals. On busy days, cars line both sides of the major entrance road for hundreds of meters, despite the fact that there is a parking place at the top of the steps.

It is fairly easy to get there by bus, although there is a slope to the south that leads to Gnejna beach. The cliff on the north side features Ghajn Mixkuka Tower, another of Malta's coastal watchtowers, as well as a little abandoned hotel in a pretty decrepit state that hasn't been demolished for some reason. Ghajn Tuffieha is notorious for its strong undercurrents in the off-season, despite being great for swimming in the summer. If you decide to face the cold and go for a swim nevertheless, keep an eye on the flag system, which will give you a decent indication of whether the sea is safe to swim in. "Do as the natives do" is still the greatest rule of thumb. Lifeguards are only on duty during the summer months, as they are in Golden Bay.

Mellieha Bay (also known as Ghadira Bay) is Malta's largest beach and one of the island's most popular. Except on the peak summer weekends, the beach rarely feels crowded due to its size. This beach is ideal for families because it has a fine sand beach and calm waves with no undercurrents. The shallow seabed stretches for a long way. In fact, for around 50 meters offshore, the water is only knee-deep, making it safe for children to splash around and swim. The swimming area is separated from the boating area for enhanced protection. During summer (June through September), lifeguards are on duty and keep a watchful eye on children while they swim around in the water.
