Salina Bay, about 19 kilometres from Valletta, is a quiet and secluded area on the outskirts of St Paul's Bay: a string of closely-knit neighbouring resorts that includes bustling Bugibba and Qawra. Salina Bay's name comes from the local salt pans which can occasionally be smelt on the onshore breeze.

Nightlife
Salina Bay itself has no nightlife but it's only a short trip to Bugibba, which offers the liveliest nightlife, or the quieter Qawra.

Bugibba is the main shopping centre in the area, offering the usual range of tourist souvenirs. While nearby Qawra offers a more sophisticated selection of shops to satisfy your retail therapy needs.
Local information
