I know Munchies is open in November and the toilets are open across the car park. The apples eye at the top is also open with its own toilets - as I have been in November. Can’t 100% say about December though sorry. Doesn’t really help I guess.

yes just down the road, come out of main entrance turn right walk down the road past the Irish pub, turn left at roundabout then right this takes you to the harbour, turn left and follow walkway round. you will see a little restaurant this is a great place to snorkel. I dont recommend the restaurant! they have steps to walk into water then swim out to the sea. a little bit further round you can do a bit of cliff jumping also at Wignacourt tower.

The best beaches are Gnejna Bay, Millieha Bay, Golden Bay and my favourite, Ghajn Tuffieha (Riviera) Bay. Golden Bay is by far the largest and most popular, it gets packed during the high season. Ghajn Tuffieha is the prettiest but to reach it there are approx 150 steps. I saw sun beds for hire at all but Gnejna Bay, I last went in November 2017 and they were still open for business when the weather was good. All have beach bars, the ones at Ghajn Tuffieha and the two at Golden Bay are recommended

You can download an app for your phone Malta transport Tallinja which you can get bus times realtime

You can get a bus from St. Paul's bay to the beach.

Hi all. Just to refresh your answers, yes the beach is next to Golden Sands Resort and easy access from the hotel, earlier answer said there were three bars on the beach, update= November 2017, there is only one cafe/bar on the beach now it is the bottom half of the one on the car park above, also you have Apples Eye at the top of the road opposite the top car park and bus terminus. Hope this is helpful.

Hi Charlotte, The Golden Sands Hotel , Radisson Blu Golden Bay in Mellieha, Malta. has a private part of the beach for their guests the and there is a section which is for the public You may take a bus to travel to the Golden Bay .

The Beach is lovely and the Golden Sands Hotel , There are also Restaurant`s there also I hope you find this of interest . Have a Great Holiday !.. From , Sylvia Hinds.

There is a Hotel shower on the beach. Just for sand wash off.
