Country:
At the roundabout at the entrance to Marsaxlokk, take the second street on the left (Triq Melqart), continue on Triq Bir Rikka and arrive at a new roundabout. Take the first exit on the left and continue to a crossroads where you turn right, following the signs for "Delimara - St Peter's Pool". Then turn left onto a very narrow road that leads to the old fortress of Tas Silg. At the next crossroads, leave the road and park on the right under the pine trees.
(S/E) Go back down the road you came on and turn left at the junction onto Triq Delimara. Continue along this narrow road with caution.
(1) Ignore the road on the left, which will be the return route, and continue straight ahead, enjoying the beautiful views of Marsaxlokk harbour. You will come to a junction with a road on the left that leads to Saint Peter's Pool.
(2) Ignore this road, continue straight ahead following the road sign for "Delimara" and start driving alongside the gas terminal facilities on your right below.
Pass a first road on the left, then a second cement road, and continue to the third, just before a small square building on the right of the road. Turn left, keep left at the fork that follows and continue for about 50 metres.
(3) Turn left at the corner of a wooden shelter used as a garage and follow a narrow path that leads to a low stone wall with a "No Entry" sign. Leave the path and descend onto the large rock slabs on your right to avoid this private area. Take a look at the small rock basins used to collect salt.
Further on, find a narrow path (marked with fluorescent orange markings on the ground) and walk along the sea, gaining a little height above the eroded rocks, some of which are remarkably shaped. You will reach Saint Peter's Pool.
(4) Go down the concrete steps to get closer to the crystal-clear pool. There are lots of places to picnic or just sunbathe.
Then climb back up the steps, turn right to go around the pool and continue as close to the sea as possible until you come to the gate of a private property.
Turn left and go up the narrow paved road to the corner of the wall of a large property.
(5) Leave the tarmac and take the narrow, barely visible path opposite, which starts just after a small cement section. Continue along this path along the cliff edge, which goes around the bay of Il-Hofra z-Zghira, framed by beautiful cliffs.
When you reach the junction with a path coming from the left (fluorescent orange markings on the ground), continue straight ahead to come out onto a wide dirt track at a sign warning of the risk posed by the unstable cliff.
(6) Turn right to reach the rocky point, which offers a magnificent view of the bay, then turn back.
(6) Continue straight ahead, turn left a few dozen metres further on and do the same at the next junction.
(1) Turn right, then right again at the hairpin bend to return to the car park (S/E).
