GĦAJN TUFFIEĦA AND GOLDEN BAY

In the north-west of the island, these beaches are the most popular for swimming during summer months. During the winter, is it crowded with surfers and conditions are great with a wind from the east. These spots are great for beginners and more experienced surfers. The wind usually comes from the north-west and is the favourite spot for advanced surfers who want to ride bigger waves!

Located in the south-east of the island, this is a paradise for windsurfers and surfers. It is a reef break location that's good for intermediate to advanced surfers, depending on how strong the southwesterly wind is blowing and the size of the waves. They can be very big because of this - but they tend to be slower than northern surfing spots.
