Qawra Point is the headland that separates St Paul’s Bay from Salina Bay on Malta’s north-eastern coast. The shoreline is flat limestone rock that drops cleanly into deep water, making it one of the more popular rocky bathing areas of the Buġibba–Qawra resort district.
The flat rock surface is in continuous use for sunbathing during summer, and there are step-down access points along the shore that lead directly into deep water. Visibility is generally excellent because there’s no sand stir-up, which makes Qawra Point a regular spot for snorkelling. The water stays clean and clear through the season.
From the water, Qawra Point juts out as a low rocky tongue with the Salina coast curving away to the south-east and Buġibba to the south-west. Currents around the headland can be noticeable when wind drives swell up the coast, but in settled weather the inshore band is calm. Limited shelter — not an anchorage in any practical sense — but a good swimming and snorkelling spot.
For boat-rental crews, Qawra Point fits easily into a north-coast itinerary alongside a Buġibba shore stop or as an opening leg before heading further west toward Mistra Bay or Comino. Better used as a swim-pause on passage than as a destination for the day.
