There's no question about it – St Julian's is the centre of Malta's tourist boom. But don't think for a moment that it's anything like the Spanish Costas. Yes, it has the full compliment of apartments and hotels, from your basic B&B to your five star luxury. Yes, it's got a seafront lined with souvenir shops and chic boutiques, cafes and bars, restaurants and takeaways. And yes, it simply drips sunshine and sparkling sea. Oh, and the nightlife is as hot as anywhere else on the Med. But St Julian's isn't your run of the mill resort.

In some areas the promenade is very wide with cafes and bars, in others a normal town centre pavement width. Across the busy road are hotels, shops, bars, restaurants and private residences. Because most of St Julians is based around St Julians Bay, which includes the smaller bays, Spinola Bay, Balluta Bay and Exiles Bay the views are improved by the buildings at the far side of the bay.

Most of the shoreline consists of rocks with areas of fairly flat rocks that you can sunbathe on.Swimming and snorkeling from the rocks is very popular. There are plenty of places where you can jump into deeper water to get into the sea, but ensure that there is somewhere to get out. Some rocks are very sharp. Also beware of the black sea urchins spines - they hurt and break off leaving there fine point in the skin which usually turns septic if not removed. We recommend wearing an old pair of light weight trainers or similar to assist in getting in or out of the sea
