Il-Bajja ta' San Tumas Anchorage

✨ Hidden gem

St Thomas' Bay is a sheltered anchorage on Malta's southeastern coast, tucked within the limits of the laid-back town of Marsascala. You drop anchor off a bay that's well known locally for fishing conger and Mediterranean parrotfish, with a rugged coastline that gives it a genuinely unhurried feel compared to busier spots on the island. The surrounding area connects to a popular coastal loop trail if you want to stretch your legs and take in the southeastern Maltese scenery.
