About this site
Balluta Bay sits along the coastline of St Julian's (San Giljan) on Malta's northeast shore, a built-up harbor town just outside Valletta. The bay is a shallow, sheltered stretch of coast backed by promenades and apartment blocks, typical of this densely developed part of the Maltese coastline. The reef here reaches a maximum depth of around 25 metres and is rated a beginner dive, making it an accessible entry point along this stretch of coast.
