The Malta National Aquarium
A lovely walk by the sea from your Qawra hotel or self-catering apartment will lead you to the Malta National Aquarium. Here, you will find a huge variety of reptiles, insects, amphibians and, of course, Mediterranean fish. In addition to this, the National Aquarium includes a main fish tank with different species of sharks, rays, eels and more exotic species. It’s a perfect place to visit with children, and you will also find a children’s play area right outside the complex.
Salina national park and salt pans
One of the top things to do in St Paul’s Bay Malta is visiting this eco-friendly park which is surrounded by hills and fields. It is an ideal place for relaxation. You’ll find a large fountain as you walk through the entrance which is surrounded by lots of benches and a nearby children’s play area, a cafeteria and public toilets.
Close to the park, you will also find the Salt Pans at the Salina Nature Reserve, comprising of 154,000 square meters of salt pans and saline marshland. Malta’s salt pans are a source of continued re-generation of salt deposits, a tradition that spans many centuries and it is still used today. During your visit, you may even be able to spot a beautiful flamingo here, as these birds often alight n the salt pans to rest during their migration season.
