Mellie\u0127a Bay, known in Maltese as G\u0127adira Bay, is the largest and one of the most popular sandy beaches in Malta, sweeping around a wide bay on the north coast of the island below the hilltop town of Mellie\u0127a. Stretching for the best part of a kilometre, its broad band of golden sand and gently shelving, crystal-clear water make it especially good for families \u2014 you can wade a long way out before the sea reaches waist height \u2014 and it flies a Blue Flag for its water quality and facilities. Backed by a coastal road and, just behind, a protected wetland nature reserve, it is a firm favourite for a classic Mediterranean beach day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The beach itself is the draw: a long, sheltered arc of sand with warm, shallow, turquoise water that is calm and safe for swimming and paddling. It is well equipped, with sunbeds and umbrellas for hire, caf\u00e9s, bars and restaurants along the front, public facilities, and a wide range of water sports \u2014 from windsurfing and kayaking to waterskiing and banana-boat rides. Directly across the road lies the G\u0127adira Nature Reserve, a saltwater wetland run by BirdLife Malta that is an important stop for migrating birds, with gentle trails and birdwatching hides. From the beach there are views across to the little St Paul’s Islands and, in the other direction, up to the fortified old town of Mellie\u0127a on its ridge, with its historic church and sanctuary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mellie\u0127a Bay lies in the north of Malta, about 3 kilometres downhill from the centre of Mellie\u0127a and roughly a 40-minute drive or bus ride from the capital, Valletta; it is also close to the \u010airkewwa ferry terminal for the island of Gozo. The beach is well served by public buses, which stop right by the sand, and there is parking along the bay, though it fills up quickly on summer weekends. The beach is free to use, with charges only for sunbeds, umbrellas and water sports; the main season runs from late spring to early autumn, when it can get very busy, so arriving early helps. Bring sun protection and water, and consider combining a swim with a visit to the nature reserve opposite or the sights of Mellie\u0127a town above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
