Gnejna Bay Beach

Gnejna Bay Beach is tucked into the folds of Malta’s northwest coast, just south of Golden Bay. The beach is roughly 100 meters long and deep enough for a few rows of sun loungers, which may be rented alongside umbrellas and has the same rich orange sand and crystal blue waves.

A refreshment truck emerges during busy season, and public restrooms are a short walk away. The sea is often split into different zones at this time of year so that all beachgoers can enjoy the waters safely.

It’s one of the more serene areas on the island to feel the warmth of the Mediterranean sun on bare skin or take to the shallows for a swim, as it’s much less populated by tourists than adjacent beaches. Renting a kayak or stand-up paddle board from the beach is another option for getting out on the water.

Coastal walkways connect Gnejna Bay to Golden Bay Beach, Ghajn Tuffieha, and Fomm Ir-Rih Bay, making it one of the best ways to get there. It is surrounded by limestone bedrock slopes and is watched over by the Fourteen Soldiers rock formation and a few fishermen’s huts. Nudists occasionally utilise the beach’s far right, despite the fact that it is technically prohibited.
