Marsaskala

A nice, authentic town with a relaxed vibe is Marsaskala. There are many cafes, bars, and restaurants, and the harbour area's long promenade makes it a great place for peaceful strolls by the water. Although there are only about 12,000 people living there, like Melliea, it is a popular summer destination for both tourists and locals who have summer homes there. However, even at that time of year, Marsaskala is not exactly a popular destination for travelers.

Many swimmers visit the nearby beaches of St. Thomas Bay and St. Peter's Pool as well. There isn't much else to do in Marsaskala besides relax. There are some old towers that are interesting to see. Chapels and salt pans are additional potential attractions. Overall though, this is a place to unwind in the village. If you're looking for a relaxing seaside vacation, it's a good and quieter alternative to avoid the noise and crowds of popular tourist destinations like Sliema, St. Julian's, and Buibba. There are better, more convenient places to stay if exploring Malta is your top priority.
