MALTA: St Paul's Bay, Buġibba & Qawra (Air show)

Saint Paul's Bay (in Maltese: San Pawl il-Baħar) is a town in Malta, situated in the north east of the island of Malta, 16 kms from the capital city Valletta.

Its name refers to the shipwreck of Saint Paul, as documented in the Acts of the Apostles Chapters 27 & 28, due to the tradition that Saint Paul was shipwrecked on the isles, named St. Paul's Isles, which are situated in St Paul's Bay.

The localities of Qawra and Buġibba, form part of St Paul's Bay.

Buġibba is situated adjacent to Qawra and it has numerous hotels, self catering apartments, restaurants and shopping opportunities. It is a popular resort among locals and tourists.

Qawra is also the site of one of the many towers built by the Knights of St. John. Qawra Tower is now a restaurant called Fra Ben.

The town is home to many water-sport activities including banana boat rides and speed boat rides.

Although this area is a modern tourist spot, 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. You can see these locations in other videos we have uploaded.

@RHINO33SJR Greetings from Malta. Thank you very much for the wonder comment and compliments. Hope that time flies and soon you would be here spending a memorable holiday. FYI, from 14th to 15th April 2012, there will be the Mdina Medieval Festival. Am not sure if you have been there or have watched the video on our Channel. We enjoyed it very much as Mdina turned into medieval era complemented with interesting activities comprising the era of the Knights. Warm regards, Jasmine

Very nice video and music. I live here for the last 3 years, (retired from UK) so know the area well. The video does justice to the beauty of Malta.

@johnito2232 Greetings from Malta. Thank you very much for the wonderful comment and compliments. St Paul's Bay is one of our favourite places to visit. We were there 2 days ago and noticed that the new project i.e. Malta National Aquarium is underway. Excavation works have already started on the site, which is near the Qawra tower (Ta’ Fra Ben.).

Warm regards,

Jasmine
