Għajn Tuffieħa Bay (ayn too-fee -ha, meaning 'Spring of the Apples') is even lovelier than neighbouring Golden Bay, with no buildings overlooking it, and less busy, as it's reached via a long flight of 186 steps from the nearby car park. It's a 250m-strip of red-brown sand, backed by slopes covered in acacia and tamarisk trees, and guarded by a 17th-century watchtower. Sun loungers can be hired here.
