Visiting Malta with children is similar to opening a
playground in the Mediterranean. The island is small, but with a lot of
family-friendly fun stuffed into it. Either you want soft sand, shallow water
or a green place where the little ones can go wild, Malta provides.
Side note: When you are travelling with family, always book Heathrow airport cheap parking for a stress-free travel experience.
Golden Bay is the
type of beach that every family would wish to have. It is wide, sandy and
slopes gently into the sea, ideal for kids, who want to make sandcastles and
paddle without danger.
During the high season there are lifeguards on duty and
there is no necessity to carry your full kitchen with you to the beach as there
are many cafes and amenities nearby. The best part? The sunsets are
amazing-pack snacks and you have a family picnic with a view.
Ghadira Bay, or
MellieHa Bay is another favorite. It is the biggest sandy beach in Malta
and the calm, shallow waters extend far out, so it is perfect with toddlers and
apprehensive swimmers. It is also possible to rent pedal boats or spend time
under an umbrella as kids splash around.
Feel like you need a break from the beach? Visit Buskett Gardens, a rare slice of
woodland on the island. It is gloomy, quiet, and full of birds and butterflies
of any kind, a quiet place where children can run and parents could enjoy the
smell of pine and citrus trees. Take a blanket and some local pastries, part of
the fun is picnicking.
The San Anton Gardens
(Attard) is another gem. As to be expected, it is smaller and more formal than
Buskett, but the fountains, flower beds and peacocks strutting along provide a
delightful respite. It is as though one is strolling through a royal storybook.
Sandy toes or grassy knees, wherever they are, Malta has no
shortage of places where they can just run wild, and the parents can rest
assured that they are in safe, beautiful environs.
