Malta - The Secret Bay

As mentioned before, I discovered something on Google Maps. Something that looked like a nice little bay between the cliffs, very close to Marsaskala, namely St. Thomas Bay. Although I wasn't quite sure if we could actually lay down and spend time there, we decided to check it out. We parked the car in a gravel parking lot just before the cliffs and made our way to the supposed bay. The view from above was already magnificent! If we couldn't lay down in the bay, at least we had a nice walk. After about 10 minutes, our bay came into view. And it really existed! However, at first it looked like there was no way down. We took a closer look and eventually found a way down. And indeed, in the small bay with the beautifully clear shimmering water, you could actually lay down on the rocks. Not only was it beautiful here, but we also had this amazing place all to ourselves! Luckily, we had found this spot. I think this was the highlight of the vacation. A small bathing bay just for ourselves :) The water was too cold for swimming, but we could dip our feet in a little and enjoy the sun. The weather was perfect, nice and warm but not too hot, so it was great to stay in the sun. There was also a pleasant breeze. So we enjoyed our time in our own little paradise, dozed off a bit, and then slowly made our way back. On the way back, we took a short walk along the cliffs and then explored the town of St. Thomas Bay. There wasn't much to see here, though. There was a nice little city beach. Then we made our way back to Marsaskala, which was less than 5 minutes away from here.

I still dream of that beautiful little bay today! :D
