This coastal town on Malta's northeast has a lively harbor, seafront promenade, and varied dining options. It's a convenient base for exploring the island, with regular buses to Valletta.
Sliema, a coastal town on Malta's northeastern shore, has grown from a quiet fishing village into an active commercial and residential area. Walk along the rocky beaches, admire the views of Valletta across Marsamxett Harbour, or visit the Our Lady of Mount Carmel church. You can shop at The Point Shopping Mall, eat fresh seafood at Piccolo Padre restaurant, or take a dip in the Mediterranean Sea at Exiles Beach.
Exploring Sliema's Coastline
You can walk, jog, or cycle along the 2-kilometer promenade that connects Qui-Si-Sana to St. Julian's. This flat, paved path runs alongside the sea, with several cafes, gelaterias, and benches scattered along its length. Stop at Fontanella Tea Garden for a slice of their famous chocolate cake, or grab an espresso at Mint Cafe.
The coastline has several rocky beaches and man-made pools known as "Roman Baths," which are square-shaped and carved into the rocky shore. These pools become popular swimming spots during summer, especially on hot days. If you prefer more comfort, visit Exiles Beach Club or Surfside Beach Club, where you can rent loungers and umbrellas for a fee.
