Santa Maria Caves includes a dozen caves, each of which is of singular beauty. Some of them have huge gutters, others are with underwater tunnels, and through the narrow passages of the third one can observe fantastic lighting effects.

Divers come to this beach regularly, so it is good to arrive early to avoid crowds.
When is the best time to go
The swimming season in Malta lasts from late May to October. The air temperature reaches a comfortable + 25-30 ° C, and the water temperature does not drop below + 23 ° C. In some regions of the Maltese archipelago, the water warms up to + 26-28 ° C. In summer, dry, sunny and calm weather prevails. Precipitation is rare. The southern coast of Malta is often influenced by the desert winds of Africa, raising high waves and bringing the sultry breath of the Sahara to the islands.
