Are you on a tight budget? Don't worry, there's plenty to enjoy in Malta on a shoestring. Sometimes the simple things with the least expectations are the best things in life that make the best memories! These are our favourite things to do in summer that cost next to nothing.

1. Hit the beach with a packed lunch

Plenty of beaches to choose from, try a different one every day.

2. Watch sunset, moonrise and sunrise

The island is so small, you could enjoy sunset and sunrise on the horizon every day.

3. Enjoy a beach BBQ

Have a bottle of wine or a BBQ by the sea; you can get disposable BBQs in the supermarket.

4. Explore Valletta and the Three Cities

All you need is your feet and childlike imagination.

9. Go on a night hike

Or by day, for that matter. The night is just more mysterious.
