Il-Parsott
Il-Parsott is an anchorage spot in Saint Paul's Bay, where you drop the hook in the sheltered northeast waters of Malta, about 16km from Valletta. The setting is genuinely scenic, with the historic bay framing the area alongside the ancient sanctuary church of Saint Paul — one of the oldest places of worship on the island — visible from the water. It's a great base for exploring the busy coastal town of Bugibba and Qawra just nearby.
