    Walking around the long mellieha beach
    Superb beach, large and well maintained. We came here for several hours after being disappointed with a beach in a nearby town. We had a sandwich but it is important to note that there are several restaurants and cafes close to the beach. Unfortunately it was not yet the season to be able to swim in this clear water

    BEST SANDY BEACH IN MALTA!
    We tried different beaches in Malta and Melieha is the best! Quite basic but the water is unbelievably crystal clear! You can rent a sunbed and umbrella for a great price and they also have a few beach bars/restaurants. You can also do water sports or just chill on the beach. Food is really nice and so are the drinks! We loved it so much we kept coming back.

    Beautiful beach, lots of sunbeds.
    Travelled to Mellieha beach from Sliema on the 222 bus that cost 2 Euro for the 50 min journey. The beach is wide and has plenty of sun-beds. 2 sun-beds and and umbrella cost 15 Euro for the day. You can walk far out into the sea before it reaches any depth so perfect for anyone with young children. The Cafe on the beach is reasonable, with a good selection of ice creams, drinks and hot food. Starbucks is just a two min walk away with Toilet facilities. Buses are every 10 mins back to St Paul’s bay/ st Julian’s/ sliema. Perfect day out on a long sandy beach.

    Lovely but commercial
    A lovely beach, nice safe areas to swim in the warm waters, lifeguarded too and on the bus route. A few cafes and such within reasonable distance, my only gripe is by how it is just taken over by companies selling beds and umbrellas etc, there is barely space left. I find that crazy, however, they're always busy so maybe it is just me? Who knows, worth going either way as malta is not the most sandy of venues!

    Nice beach with clear and calm water
    A nice beach area but extremely busy one. Loads and loads of beds and umbrellas which in a way spoil what could be a lovely area. Cost of two beds and an umbrella 15 euros for the day and it didn't matter what time of day it was it was still 15 euros to have. the water was very shallow which eventually went above you shoulders. No need to take snorkels there as very few fish around but the water had a very sandy bottom. Several food places with a couple of upmarket restaurants at either end of the beach.

Not that special...
Nov 2023 • Couples
Very small area and cannot walk along the bay in full barefoot due to rocky sections. Construction work on road at end of beach making a seafront walk dangerous! No area set aside for pedestrians! Small areas of sand populated by businesses hiring out sunbeds and umbrellas. Beach cafes and restaurants serving mostly unhealthy foods.... just not that special. Water is clear and sun was perfect temperature.

Beach very disappointing 2 out of 10. Surrounding area neglected.
Sep 2023 • Couples
We have just returned from a 4 day holiday, staying at the Maritim Antonine, our break was intended to be a beach chill, however the beach was a massive let down. There were cigarette ends everywhere and items discarded near to the beach, old parasol, sun lounger. It made the beach feel dirty and neglected. Our beach chill changed to a site seeing holiday instead, not the intended purpose of the holiday. There's a derelict hotel overlooking the beach which is an eyesore. There's a community of immigrants living in containers overlooking the beach, great location for those occupants, but again an eyesore. If your not fussy about the condition of the beach, you might enjoy the setting, unfortunately we've experienced lots of beautiful beaches in our 40 years of travelling, this did not meet our expectations or approval. This is the first time we have reported back on the quality of a beach.

Lovely beach
Sep 2023 • Family
Lovely Sandy beach, very child friendly with lifeguard on duty. Cost to hire sunbeds and umbrellas are very reasonable. As with most places there are beach sellers but they are not pushy.

Small Sandy Beach.Too busy & loads of Sunbeds so close together
Aug 2023 • Family
Small sandy beach which is delightful as most of the bay has small rocky beaches,which are fabulous & not over crowded.Anyways this beach was far too crowded,it lacked that exquisite mediterranean feel.Too may sunbeds so close together,overcrowded,I guess because of the space.The water close to the beach is very warm & gets 'typically mediterranean' nice & cold the further you go.

Great for kids
Aug 2023 • Family
Safe shallow water for kids, brilliant inflatable assault course and options for food/drink. Lots of space for lounging without having to pay for deckchairs/umbrellas (easily available if needed though).
Tip would be to go in evening when the crowds have gone for a quiet drink/swim.
