#6 St. Peter’s Pool, Marsaxlokk

Favored by both locals and visitors, this swimming spot is at the end of Delimara Point, not far from the tall chimney tower that overlooks Marsaxlokk Bay. A large flat slab surrounds this natural pool, making it an ideal spot to soak up some rays. Go for a leisurely swim in its calm, crystal-clear waters or indulge in a couple of daring dives. Snorkeling is the ideal method of exploring St. Peter’s Pool and discovering the unique aquatic flora and fauna. There is an unofficial parking lot close to the bay, and expect a bumpy ride getting there. Those who prefer to skip the off-road experience may be better off taking public transportation, with the nearest stop only a 30-minute stroll away.
