Top Nature Spots in Southern region

I recommend bringing a book or a snack to enjoy while you're there; it's such a peaceful spot and you can really soak in the beauty. I did that, it was a great way to relax!

If you're on a tight budget, skip the overpriced cafes nearby. There’s a little bakery just a short walk away with delish pastries and coffee at much better prices!

Make sure to visit the Upper Barrakka Gardens too; the views over the Grand Harbour are stunning! I almost missed it and I would have regretted it.

I suggest hitting the beach early around 8 AM. It gets super crowded by noon and you’ll snag a good spot without fighting for space

I recommend checking the weather forecast before you go. I went on a cloudy day and it made the beach vibes way less fun than I expected.

My advice is to explore a bit! The cliffs on the side of Golden Bay are stunning, and taking a short hike is totally worth it – just wear good shoes!

I think it’s better to come on a weekday if you can. The weekends can get super busy, and finding a good spot to lay your towel can be a hassle

I suggest bringing your own snacks and drinks, because the beach cafes can be pricey. I grabbed a sandwich and ended up spending way too much!

I recommend taking the bus instead of driving. Parking can be a nightmare and the bus ride offers some nice views, plus it saves you the stress of finding a spot!

I suggest you visit in the morning around 9 AM to beat the crowds; we had the whole place to ourselves at that time.

If you're visiting in the warmer months, I'd suggest going in the late afternoon, around 5 PM. The light is beautiful for photos and it's less crowded, so you can enjoy the views peacefully.

Take some time to explore the quiet corners of the gardens; I found a lovely spot with a nice view of the Grand Harbour. It’s not just about the main paths.

Grab some snacks or drinks before you head to Hastings Gardens. There's not much around, and the little café can be pricey and often has long lines.
