Golden Bay
About
Golden Bay, or Il‑Mixquqa in Maltese, is a sun‑kissed stretch of white‑sand beach located on the north‑western coast of Malta. The gentle slope of the shore allows swimmers to wade comfortably into the turquoise waters, while lifeguards are on duty during the peak summer months to ensure safety for beachgoers. The bay is a popular destination for families, sun‑seekers and swimmers alike, featuring several beach clubs and a large hotel perched along the shoreline. A nearby bus terminus and car park make the beach easily accessible by public transport or car, and the Ghajn Tuffieha International Scout Campsite lies just a short walk away, offering year‑round camping opportunities.
