- Zip / Postal Code MLH1022
- Directions To reach Ghajn Tuffieha you can take the bus that goes to Golden Bay (n° 23 from Valletta, Sliema, Naxxar or Mosta, or n° 102 from Mellieha).
At the one-but-last stop there is a little kiosk that sells food and drinks.
Behind the kiosk a concrete stairway of 100 steps that descends to the beach.
To reach the nudist area at the end of the bay you can walk along the shore or, preferably, follow one of the many paths that cross the bushes a little bit inland.
Much nicer are the beach and reefs of Gnejna Bay that can easily be reached from Ghajn Tuffieha.
Following the same paths in the bushes, you will reach a sandy pass that delimits Ghajn Tuffieha towards the South. From here you can descend directly to the beach below but the way is steep and slippery. Instead, you can climb a little higher than the pass following the path that then leads to the right. You will see below you the bay with the beach and two little sandstone flat reefs.
When you are vertically above the second one you can easily walk down following a thin path. This second reef is the border between the textile and the naturist areas.
