This Lesser-known Beach Was Just Named the Best in Europe

"Ghajn Tuffieha Bay Beach, also known as Riviera Beach, is a low-key beach on the island of Malta. It is known for its preserved natural beauty, red sand, impressively clear water, and stunning surrounding cliffs. The beach is located near the more famous Golden Bay Beach but is far less crowded due to the significant descent required to reach it. Visitors are rewarded with crystalline swimming water, wildflowers, and walking trails in the cliffs." - Madeline Weinfield

Beautiful beach with clear water and stunning views, perfect for swimming and relaxing. However, there isn’t much around in terms of facilities or food options, so it’s good to bring what you need with you. Still, definitely worth a visit if you want a calm day by the sea.

A beautiful bay and beach. One of the most beautiful in Malta. Lots of people, but everyone will find a spot for themselves. A must-see!

One of the best beaches in Malta — do not miss this pristine beach with soft yellow sand and crystal clear waters! The water was pretty shallow, so it was easy to walk out far and still only be waist deep. It was a mixed crowd from young families to groups of friends. You can hire lounge chairs and umbrellas/parasols from Singita Restaurant for 10euro each (there are some deals like 17euro for a lounge chair and umbrella/parasol). You can also get food & drink from the restaurant too. Note there are quite a few stairs that lead you down to the beach, worth the walk up and down, but may be a problem for people with mobility issues.

The beach and the water are absolutely beautiful and a delight, there is also a great restaurant next to the beach with clean toilets. The problem with this beach is that it gets so crowded you cannot even lay on your towel in peace without people jumping around you. No one respects personal space and tourists literally lay on top of you. Every couple of hours a bus arrives with 50+ people where the beach is already crowded and this is really unpleasant and uncomfortable.

If you’re searching for a public place that offers swimming, climbing, and peaceful vibes, Għajn Tuffieħa Bay in Malta is truly a hidden gem. This stunning location combines natural beauty, adventure, and calmness in one unforgettable experience. The bay has clear, blue waters that are ideal for a refreshing swim. The beach is not too crowded, especially on weekdays, which gives it a relaxed and calm atmosphere. The waves are gentle, making it perfect for both experienced swimmers and families. To reach the beach, you walk down a long staircase — and it’s worth every step. Around the area, there are beautiful cliffs and trails for a bit of climbing and hiking. The hilltop offers an amazing panoramic view of the sea and sunset — perfect for a short climb and a peaceful moment. Unlike other busy beaches, Għajn Tuffieħa is quieter and more natural. There are no loud parties or city noise — just the sound of waves, birds, and the wind. It’s an ideal place for meditation, reading a book, or simply enjoying nature’s silence. There’s also a small beach bar nearby where you can grab a cold drink or a snack, but it doesn’t ruin the natural feel of the place. It’s also a great spot to watch the sunset — one of the most magical scenes in Malta. Għajn Tuffieħa is the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. Whether you come for a swim, a small climb, or to find peace, you’ll leave feeling refreshed and connected to nature.

Wonderful sandy beach, you can have a small hike there as well. You will find a bathroom in the restaurant nearby. There is small truck near parking space where they sell drinks and food.

Ghajn Tuffieh is a hidden gem in Malta. The beach is small and more secluded compared to other spots, making it perfect for a relaxing day away from the crowds. The clear, calm waters are ideal for swimming, and the surrounding scenery is absolutely beautiful. A great place to unwind and enjoy the natural beauty of Malta!
