Park tal

TIME : 2016/2/18 22:41:41

The area between Golden Bay and Anchor Bay was once earmarked for a new golf course, but opposition from environmental groups led to the creation instead of National Park tal-Majjistral. Information boards show waymarked walking trails; the park arranges regular guided walks (usually adult/child €5/3) from October to April, generally on Sundays, including many sunset walks. Also available from July to September are 2½-hour snorkelling trips (adult/child €12/10; over 9s only).

Bus 44 runs here from Valletta, calling on the way to Għajn Tuffieħa.

The park protects a region of wild sea cliffs and limestone boulder scree, home to plants such as euphorbia, Maltese rock centaury and golden samphire, and wildlife including Mediterranean chameleons.
