Scenic crystal clear pool a short walk from Marsaxlokk
Follow the road out from Marsaxlokk toward the gas big gas station/refinery and then follow the blue signposts out across the headland to st Peters Pool.
It's a nice 20 minutes walk from Marsaxlokk. The path should be ok for most people but is a little bit tricky towards the end as you make your way down into the actual pool itself.
It is very pretty there and you can also see all the massive ships parked up waiting to go into the harbour in the next bay over.
