Bahar ic-Caghaq

Bahar ic-Caghaq is a small coastal settlement on Malta's northeastern coast, sitting between Naxxar and Pembroke on a stretch of rocky shoreline. The name means 'pebbly sea' in Maltese, accurately describing the shoreline — a series of rocky coves and smooth limestone platforms that locals use for swimming. The area is tiny — a handful of restaurants, a beach club, and a stretch of coast road — but it serves as a popular weekend destination for Maltese families who prefer its quieter coves to the crowded northern beaches. The White Rocks complex, a former RAF recreation facility, sits on the cliff top and has been the subject of redevelopment plans for years. Property here is limited but mid-priced. A few apartment blocks line the coast road, and some villa properties sit on the hillside above. The position is well-placed between the coast and Naxxar, with easy access to both St. Julian's and the northern beaches.
