St Paul's Bay, MALTA

- St. Paul’s Bay is a village located in the North of Malta along its Northern coastline. Its municipality includes the neighbouring villages of Buġibba and Qawra, as well as a few smaller localities which include Xemxija and Mistra. Traditionally, St. Paul’s Bay was known as a fisherman’s village, similar to Marsaxlokk, although it’s lost a little of its character with the area’s development as a popular tourist destination. The village’s name refers to Saint Paul’s shipwreck. According to the Bible, he was shipwrecked on an island while travelling from Caesarea to Rome and it is believed that this island was Malta. Saint Paul is believed to have introduced Christianity to the Maltese.

Lovely video, my mum is from St Paul’s Bay. She was brought up at the bottom of Tony Bajada Street, her Uncles were fishermen. She remembers when the Gilleru was built xx
Wow that's interesting

Oh you from malta ....Thanks for your support

You have beautiful channel ..love your photos
Welcome to my hood I used to live in that area. Now I am on the other side of the coast in Qawra. I moved because of all the construction. Now it's happening here too. LOL
I like that staircase! At night it is lit up in blue, and looks like a ship!
I have a place on Triq-it-Tamar near the Queens head pub,back in 2 weeks be in Wise guys boxing gym
It looks so untidy all that building work sooooun finished
pro trick : watch series at flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching lots of of movies these days.
@Karson Donovan yup, I have been watching on flixzone} for since december myself :D
I lived there from 1984 to 1985 in my early teens, in a flat on one of the side streets, there is a staircase right next to the flats now. I returned to work in Malta in 1990 , where I worked in Village crafts the shop that is still closed and I haven't got a clue why. It was a beautiful shop that sold crystals and was like working in a treasure cave. At that time we lived in a house opposite the tower. I returned for two holidays recently, in 2018 and 2019, I stayed in Santa Maria hotel first time, it felt like being in youth hostel, wouldn't recommend it. Then to celebrate my 25th Wedding anniversary I returned with hubby and stayed at the Bugibba hotel and loved it, would totally recommend it. The best spot for breakfast was Bognor Regis down on the front and the best restaurant, especially if you like rabbit was the Black Bull in the square. So I have experience I have of the place is spanning from when I was 15 to 49 and it has changed, I remember Crest being the main shop, lol. but in some ways its stayed the same, and always feels so alive and magical to me. Thank you Steve for sharing this.
Wow ...i was lucky to catch you past memories
Thank you again for your tour of St. Paul's Bay. Used to swim there in the 1950s. There was little there except sand and rocks!Englishman in Malta 1950s.
Yes its changed so much now ..
Yes ,as you say St Paul’s Bay has changed heaps over the years.
Stayed right in front of those stairs last time I was in Malta in 2018.
Thanks for the video.
I was shocked used to live there 20 years ago ..never really need to go ..only to make a video ..I think its lost its charm now
Great video and footage very nice indeed thanks for sharing cheers 👍👍🇬🇧
Thank you for comments and so sorry late reply but i missed them and then daunting to answer so many please forgive me
We are back in Mellieha for week from May 29th, we can’t wait, hopefully the weather will me good .
Weather is looking good at the moment
Steve, to answer your query at about 3:30, the Maltese Dghajsa is the sleek water taxi, exampled by the boats that serve between Valetta and the Tri-Cities. The Luzzu is the traditional Maltese design that serves specifically as a fishing boat.
Thanks for the info Joseph
I love this look at St Paul's Bay. Left a super big thumbs up.
Thanks for you great support
im worn out just watching you climb them stairs lol great video thank you
Glad you enjoyed seeing me tired they are so ugly ...lol
Thank you for this video Steve, just found it looking through your videos. Lots of new development around the area, and more going on now in 2022. We've climbed those steps like you, made my knees ache, but good exercise. We were in Malta this year, hope to get over again from Cyprus early next year, short flight from here.
staying at the gilleru in july, will look you up steve.
Yes why not drop me a line on facebook ..noticed a interesting watering hole under the hotel
Great to see SPB again. Got family there. Great video Steve. 😀👍
Glad you enjoyed it but i was very disappointed to see it go down so much in just a few years ..Every street was full of skips and bricks ..not a pretty sight !! at least the sea still beautiful
Beautiful village! This is cool! Loved watching! Great video! Best wishes, Mary and Harry 🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼
Its changed from years ago, it was so small

We didn't make July but fly back in Saturday 18th September oh in 5 days
Hey Steve we will be there next July at Gilieru 2024
my first time i visited Saint Paul's Bay was in summer 1965, 55 years ago with our school mates and teachers for one week . it was a small village of less than 4,000 population. it was surrounded by fields .there were many fruit and vegetable sellers then. Here i learned to swim.
But Carmel its changed so much now ..Last time not see it so beautiful ..
@@EnglishmaninMalta completely unrecognisable .
Have a good time Englishman I born in Zabbar and my father won’t get married again and we went to live in Mosta thank you for showing my country it’s been a long time everything is new in there thank you very much my name is Doris Bugeja No I’m in nails N Joy two in America for 45 years thank you for show me around I wish I was there

Thanks for the So-Called Progress, that this Locality has gone through, along with other localities on the Maltese Islands. Great Work English Man in Malta :)
No problem 👍
Hi Steve, another interesting place, especially these stairs (nice view). It is a pity that old buildings are exchanged for new concrete apartment buildings, but this is the price of island development and the increasing number of tourists visiting Malta. Is the Wignacourt tower open to the public?
So true Bart .....Not just Malta all over the world , St Paul's bay used to be so sweet old days ....its finished now, lots people live there, and continuous building, makes the place look a mess
Another great clip,weather dont look the best there at the moment......
It a big mess...so much building work makes the place untidy
Video very nice
Thank you my friend
Nice a walk on street near sea...of dinner 😎😎😎. Night so beautiful ...think😍🤗
oh......missed your message ...you late today ....
Sorry was busy today...lol
Have u ever been to St Paul's Islands? That would make a very interesting vid.......
You need a boat to get on St Paul's island ..i have been near a few times this video is nice Maltese Coastal Adventure to Xemxija, Fekruna, and Mistra, finish at St Pauls Island 🏝 ua-cam.com/video/8ITXAaj_-J4/v-deo.html
My mother and her cousin and I used to pick chamomile there, not far from her house. Concrete covers where there was a rocky shore and wild chamomile. 😢 I wonder if one can still find bits of the plant working it's way through the cracks.
LoL I think maybe wishful thinking its turning into a concrete jungle ...and all that building work looks a big mess
Bautiful view.Nice place
welcome my friend
Beautiful video
Its changing to concrete jungle
beautiful place
great support ...
Prosit, Englishman! My parent's both are from St Paul's Bay originally and I miss it so much!
Its changed so much over the years , I remember opening my first bank account there mid-med bank
Nice video Steve.....thanks for the mention....yes them stairs are a hideous design....all that concrete just seems so unnecessary lol!! Just to say i have a few Malta videos on my channel if any of your subscribers are interested...i don't vlog though....just film x i upload sporadically...but am back to Malta in May so there will be new videos put up soon too!! x

Hi Steve, we visited St Paul's Island a couple of years ago and in the middle under the rocks in the building someone had left a tin with a note in. Interesting to know if you visit there to see whether it is still there.
Interesting! I want to go on the island ..But no tours at the moment !! I will take a look m...lol 😂 What type of note ..?? ..Sounds intriguing ....😎🙄🙄🙄🙄
@@EnglishmaninMalta I cannot remember, but it was something to do with remembering to come back. I think it was in a cigarette tin. This was in our 2013 trip I think. I will see if I can find it in my facebook pictures.
Hello Steve from sunny Staffordshire 25 years ago we had time share at the mediatrano hotel opposite the now crazy steps we watched for two years while they built them the hotel has gone and are luxury flats now Mr velhiea who owns them a also owns

I have family that live in St Paul's Bay I have been there a few times.

@@EnglishmaninMalta everywhere is the same now I think. They say progress is a good thing as well. At times I would disagree
I used to drive a horse and cart around 1986 through the MAIN STREETS of ST PALS BAY LOL
Wow Why don't you come on live and have chat
Yes it was the best fish Restaurant in the 70ssa 80s
I remember going many times ..A bit expensive !!
