Marsascala

Marsacala was previously a lovely little Sicilian fishing village and it’s name actually translates to ‘Sicilian Harbour’. In recent years it has developed in to a seaside resort popular with both Maltese and foreign holiday makers. Many Malta residents own second  homes here that they visit in the summer months and this gives the place a very local feel. The resort is not as lively as the bigger resorts like St Julian’s and Bugibba and there is not as many sights but it will suit people who are looking for somewhere a bit quieter with some great restaurants.

Things to See and Do in Marsascala

  • Stroll along the beautiful promenade stopping for a drink or a bite to eat.
  • Visit St Thomas Bay beach which is a ten minute walk from Maraskala centre.
  • Check out St Thomas’ Tower which is a fortress at the northern point of St Thomas Bay.
