St Paul's Bay and its neighbours Bugibba
and Qawra are Malta's largest, seaside resorts. They offer
plentiful accommodation ranging from self-catering apartments to
hotel complexes and a variety of nightlife and leisure options.
The coastline here has some wonderful open sea views and a vista
across to St Paul's Island, where, according to legend, the ship
carrying the Apostle is said to have been wrecked. Standing
prominently on the isle is a large statue of the Apostle
commemorating this legendary event. The coastline promenade
provides a long, though mostly level and easy walk from St Paul's
Bay all the way to Qawra Point, with its tower and views over
Salina Bay. St Paul's Bay started life as a small fishing village.
The parish church, built in 1617, was carefully restored after
suffering heavy damage in World War II. Nearby is the Wignacourt
Tower built in 1610 during the reign of Grand Master Alof de
Wignacourt. It served as Malta's northern-most defensive outpost
until fort St. Agatha was built in Mellieha in 1649. Today, it
houses a small museum dedicated to Malta's rich
military-architectural heritage.
