We all know what stunners our local beaches are, because you know, they’re constantly snapped and put on Instagram. But these beautiful retro shots of Malta’s beaches back in the day are just something else!

1. Ghajn Tuffieha

This stunning shot of one of Malta’s most popular beaches is simply breathtaking!

2. Mellieha Bay

Mellieha, locally known as Ghadira Bay, was a busy beach back in the day, and its reputation still stands!

3. Riviera

This one is so striking! It’s where the once famous Riviera Martinique hotel once stood. Just look at that view!

4. St George’s Bay

St George’s Bay back in the day barely got any visitors. Now it’s Paceville’s most frequented summer spot.

5. St Julian’s Bay

Can you recognise St Julian’s Bay so many years ago? Time truly does fly.

6. Spinola Bay

While not technically a beach, Spinola Bay still deserves a mention. The once peaceful location is now one of Malta’s most bustling spots.

7. Xlendi Bay

Xlendi Bay in Gozo was and still is the perfect spot to take a dip and an ice-cream on a hot summer’s day.

Aren't they just stunning?!
