Malta View from the beach Carmelite Church – Valletta, Malta
From the beach below Valletta, you get a different perspective towards the Karmelitenkirche (Carmelite Church), with the city rising above the coastline. This angle combines urban architecture with a raw coastal foreground, creating a more dynamic scene. From the street, you walk around 5min to the spot..
Photography Tips
Go down to the beach and use the rocks and waves as a foreground to add depth and movement to the image. Timing is key here – sunset works best, when the light softens and reflects on the water. A slightly lower shooting position helps emphasize the foreground while keeping the church visible in the background.
Travel Information
Parking is the same as for the rest of Valletta: street parking is limited and depends on luck. The best option is to use a parking garage, which allows you to stay in the city all day. From there, walk towards the coastline and access the beach below.
