Keep in mind
Keep your belongings secure and carry a small first aid kit. Always bring enough drinking water and be mindful of the sun, especially during summer, as there is little to no shade along the walks.
Check the weather before starting your walk. Choose a walk that suits your ability and stop if it becomes too challenging.
Route description
The walk starts near Paradise Bay, following minor roads and paths before descending towards the rocky coastline. Shortly after leaving the road, the route reaches the boulder-strewn shore below the cliffs, where it continues southwards along uneven coastal terrain. This section passes several popular bouldering areas and striking rock formations, with constant views across the open sea. The route then reaches the Għar Tuta Cave area, where a short detour allows walkers to approach the cave entrance and surrounding rocks. After exploring this section of coast, the route turns inland, following paths and tracks that gradually climb away from the shoreline. The final stretch follows rural roads back towards Paradise Bay, completing a loop of approximately two kilometres.
Practical advice
This route includes very uneven ground, large boulders and rocky coastal sections that require careful footing at all times. Some areas near the sea can be slippery, especially after rain or during rough sea conditions. The route is largely exposed with minimal shade, so adequate water and sun protection are essential. Entering Għar Tuta Cave should only be attempted with suitable lighting and experience, as interior sections may be dark, damp and uneven. Walkers should avoid climbing unstable rocks, stay clear of cliff edges and respect any restricted or private areas. Due to the rocky terrain, this route is best suited for experienced walkers and should not be attempted in poor weather or when sea conditions are rough.
