Tal-Imgħarrqa

Tal-Imgħarrqa sits along the northeast coast of Malta in Saint Paul's Bay, where you can drop anchor and soak up one of the most historically loaded stretches of Maltese coastline — this is reputedly near where the Apostle Paul was shipwrecked around 60 AD. The bay itself is sheltered and calm, backed by a busy residential town with shops, restaurants, and waterfront life just a short dinghy ride away. Saint Paul's Island, with its iconic white statue of the apostle, is clearly visible from the anchorage and makes for a striking backdrop.
