St Peters Pool Marsaxlokk Malta

Rocky beach

St. Peter’s pool, is situated next to Marsaxlokk, south of Malta. This place is called this way due to its natural shape of a pool within the rock. Crystal water is one of the main characteristics of this place. It is easy to access the seas via stairs which were carved into the rocks, one could also make use of the ladders that are placed during the summer period, or for those a bit more adventurous, you can dive in. The latter is the means used the most by the people visiting the spot. Diving can be done from 2 to 5 metres high and is easy and safe since the water is deep enough. Here you can often meet people who take cliff jumping as a more serious thing, sometimes this even transforms into a show. St. Peter’s Pool is very popular in summer, and it is not very advisable to go there in the hottest hours. If you do, make sure to take with you some water and food.
