Why go
Natural rock formations separate this bay from its neighbours, giving it a defined coastal shape rather than an uninterrupted resort shoreline. The beach lies beneath a ridge with a historic watchtower above it. The contrast with nearby Golden Bay makes the choice useful: decide how much beach access and coastal walking you want.
What to look for
- Red sand lies below the hillside access staircase.
- Rock formations separate Għajn Tuffieħa from the neighbouring bays.
- A Knights-era watchtower stands above the bay.
Useful to know
- Keep energy and water for the uphill return from the beach.
- Use the main staircase; nearby inter-bay routes involve steeper rocky terrain.
- Compare the access with Golden Bay before committing to a beach day.
