Għajn Tuffieħa Bay (Riviera Beach)

Ghajn Tuffieha Bay, commonly called Riviera, is a sandy beach with distinctive reddish sand located 345 metres south of Golden Bay in Mgarr, Malta. To reach the beach, visitors must descend a staircase of around 200 steps cut into the cliff. On the western headland stands the Ghajn Tuffieha Tower, one of seven watchtowers built by Grand Master Giovanni Paolo Lascaris of the Knights Hospitaller in the 17th century. The beach is generally less crowded than Golden Bay and is popular with local Maltese swimmers.
