A
lthough Bugibba is a
modern tourist area
there are some very
pretty natural highlights
close by. Heading north
there is Mistra Bay, its
headland and St Paul’s Island. Going
west and crossing the island towards
Ġnejna Bay and Golden Bay is the
scenic Wardija Ridge.
of Mellieha and Golden Bay (among
others). There is a regular bus service
from. You can also find cruise boats to
Comino and fishing tours. It is about
30 min bus ride to Sliema where there
lots of cafes and shops. Also Harbour
Cruises and Hop On buses. It`s a
pleasant bus ride along the coast line.
Bugibba is `invaded` by tourists (local
and foreign) in Summer all enjoying
the panoramic sea front promenade
or having a drink in one of the many
bars and pubs. It is still a relatively
inexpensive resort that caters for the
whole family with numerous bars,
pubs, disco`s,
restaurants, diving
schools, tour and car agencies and all
the other amenities a tourist would
appreciate. There is still a small bay
with colourful fishing boats at the end
of the Bugibba Promenade .
Many of its restaurants and cafes
cater for British tastes and you`ll find
popular British food and tea, pizza/
pasta , salads etc everywhere. It`s
not really fine dining but satisfies the
wishes of the clientele.
The Bugibba/Qawra Promenade has
lovely views of the open sea and the
land across the bay and St Paul`s
Island. The shore is rocky, but there
are smooth places which are ideal for
sun bathing and there is easy access
to the sea. Recently a man made
sandy beach has been built. There are
also lido`s and resort clubs with pools
and all amenities. The whole area
has all kinds of water sports available
including diving schools. Less than
10km away are the best sandy beaches
