Bajja tax-Xemxija

Xemxija Bay is a quietly sheltered inlet tucked into the southern corner of St Paul's Bay, where you drop the hook in calm, clear water with low-key residential Malta stretching along the shoreline. It sits just a short distance from the famous St Paul's Islands, the rocky outcrop where the apostle is said to have been shipwrecked in 60 AD — worth a slow drift past if you haven't seen them. The bay itself stays well protected from the northwest swells that can rough up the wider coastline, making it a solid anchorage when you want to sit still for a while.
