The beaches are among the cleanest in Europe
Avoid the burnt tourist brigade in Golden Bay and instead head
to neighbouring Ghajn Tuffieha, which is a lot more peaceful due to
a flight of stone stairs acting as a deterrent to lazy sunbathers.
Truly off-the-beaten track are the rocky flats of Peter’s Beach.
You won’t find an ice-cream shop or a sun-lounger here, nor will
you join hoards of holiday makers. Pack a picnic, stretch out on
the rocks and dare to
bare, as you’ll likely be the only people there.
