TGIF baby! It’s the end of the week and we’re sooo looking forward to hitting the beach to soak up some sun. Here are 10 beaches that are perfect for a swim today, recommended by Maltese Islands Weather. Let's beach it!

1. Rinella Bay

Rinella Bay in Kalkara is one to hit this weekend! And you can take your four-legged friends because it’s a dog friendly bay, too!

2. Pretty Bay

Birzebbuga’s Pretty Bay is a sandy beach with gorgeous blue waters, and is just a hill roll away from the prehistoric Ghar Dalam Caves.

4. Golden Bay

Malta’s northern golden sandy beach is the place to be today. Relax by the water’s edge and take a dip every now and then. A great way to spend the day.

6. Gnejna Bay

Little Gnejna is awesome because not many people flock there, and it guarantees a relaxing day in the sun!

8. Mgarr ix-Xini

Another gorgeous bay in Gozo! Mgarr ix-Xini features quite the steep walk down to the bay but it’s definitely worth it!

9. Xlendi

A popular bay and the perfect spot for today’s swim. Don’t forget to cool off with a fab ice-cream at one of the town’s parlours.

10. Dwejra Inland Sea

Even though the Azure Window fell two years ago (a sad day indeed), many people still head to this popular location. And the Inland Sea bay is just the relaxing (and pebbly!) spot to hit today if you’re in Gozo.

Meanwhile, bays like Ghadira, Exiles in Sliema, Little Armier, St Paul’ Bay and Qawra, St Thomas Bay, and Anchor Bay in Malta, and Ramla l-Hamra, San Blas Bay, Dahlet Qorrot, Xwejni, Qbajjar and Marsalforn in Gozo aren’t the ideal bays to swim at today. You might meet a certain jelly friend if you head to these beaches... you've been warned!

Will you be hitting the beach this fine summer’s day?
