About this place Golden Bay

Malta's favourite sandy bay is also its most gay-popular beach day: Golden Bay's wide sand, sunset orientation and easy facilities make it the default seaside outing for the island's LGBTQ crowd and visitors - Malta has no officially gay beach, and this is where everyone actually goes. Practical: buses run from Valletta and Sliema (about an hour); full services, loungers and cafes on the sand. For more seclusion, the neighbouring Għajn Tuffieħa bay - a ten-minute clifftop walk - is quieter and draws a mixed naturist-leaning crowd.

Beautiful water and beach. Great service to hire the beds and parasol. Spent practically the whole day here, well worth it. Parking is available and just donate money amount of your choice. Toilets are available but unfortunately do get messy.

One of the best sandy beaches, no swimming shoes required, the only thing that burns is the sand and there is a beach bar where you can eat and drink something

The beach is otherwise beautiful with golden sand, there are showers, a bar, umbrellas and beds for rent, but there is so much trash in the sand and in the water that it is unenjoyable. We were with 2 children, 2 hours and that was enough
