BugibbaBugibba is a coastal tourist town on the North East of Malta. It had much of its traditional housing replaced with buildings such as hotels and rental apartments with little architectural highlights. Although somewhat cut off from Valletta and from other main parts of the island, its facilities including bars, pubs, nightclubs, restaurants, cinema and even casino, are such that tourists are happy to stay put.

Daytime activities include boat trips to the islands of Comino and Gozo and Underwater Safari; glimpsing the world of marina flora and fauna as well as a couple of shipwrecks.

QawraQawra is more restrained than its noisy neighbour, with a choice of slightly more superior accommodation. Hotels and apartments have been mushrooming since the 1970s. Like Bugibba, there are plenty of bars, cafeterias and restaurants. The Qawra Tower at the far end of the peninsula was one of the many fortress towers erected by Grand Martin de Redin in the 17th Century.

St. Paul`s BaySt. Paul’s Bay is one of the most popular holiday summer resorts in Malta. Although scholars debate whether St. Paul was in fact shipwrecked in this beautiful bay, most Maltese accepts the tradition and accept that this is were it happened in 60 A.D. Although not as blatantly tourist-oriented as Qawra, St. Paul’s Bay lost its former fishing-village charm and its older buildings look somewhat abandoned.
