The elegant resort of Marsascala has grown around
a narrow sea-inlet on the southern coast of the
island. What used to be a small village-resort
has now developed into a sizeable seaside town
with numerous vacation houses and sumptuous villas,
competing with the old houses on the shoreline.
Colourful fishing
and sailing boats, riding on the clear water,
enhance the cheerful aspect of the bay.
No sandy beach is available
here, but coastal bathing is widespread from the
rocky shores or from the modest facilities provided
in the more frequented places.
Marsascala is today
the biggest and most popular resort in the South.
ST. THOMAS BAY, near
Marsascala, is quite a large bay with small sandy
banks and shallow water suitable for bathing.
Like Marsascala, it is fast growing into a seaside
resort with fine buildings being erected all around.
A new road now joins
this bay to Marsascala, one kilometre to the north.
