Choose the scale of the outing

Qbajjar sits along the northern coastal area beyond Marsalforn, near Xwejni and the salt pans. Its attraction is the open sea view and the sequence of different shorelines nearby. You do not need to cover the whole north coast to appreciate it. A short visit with a clear turning point can be more enjoyable than an improvised long walk.

Check the actual route

Official accessibility advice identifies the Qbajjar belvedere as a place with level paving, benches and nearby parking, but this does not describe every surrounding stretch of coast. Anyone using a wheelchair or walking aid should confirm the particular arrival point and surface they plan to use. Do not let a general destination label substitute for checking kerbs, gradients and the last few metres.

Keep your base nearby

Marsalforn is a useful place to organise food, buses and the rest of the afternoon. Decide whether you are visiting Qbajjar alone or continuing to Xwejni before setting off. Carry water and protect the landscape from litter. If conditions make the shoreline uncomfortable, shorten the visit rather than trying to reach a viewpoint simply to complete a list.

PLAN YOUR VISIT

The useful details.

  • Distinguish the belvedere from the rougher coast.
  • Confirm the arrival surface for mobility needs.
  • Use Marsalforn to organise onward transport.
