However, even though the majority of the beaches are perfect for a quick refreshing dip, there are still some that have unfortunately been marked as unsafe.

The unsafe beaches are Ħofriet, Marsaxlokk, Pretty Bay, Wied iż-Żurrieq, Għar Lapsi, Fomm ir-Riħ, Għajn Tuffieħa, Anchor Bay, Ħondoq ir-Rummien, Mġarr ix-Xini and Dwejra.
