St. Paul's Bay ,Malta .Xemxija (meaning sunny) is the gateway to the sandy beaches of Golden Bay to the west, and to
Mellieha Bay to the north. Xemxija is a quiet resort, surrounded by Maltese countryside and some of the most fertile valleys in Malta. There is also a picturesque small fishing harbour. There are a few hotels and restaurants in Xemxija, but nightlife, shops and bars can be found in the villages of St Paul's Bay,Buġibba andQawra , all within walking distance.Xemxija, although formed up mainly of new apartment blocks which were built in the late 80 and 90's, has been home to settlements from the pre-historic age.
In fact, a route including several Punic tombs, silos, temple remains and megalithic stones has been formed within the last few years. This route, mainly located on Xemxija hill (in Maltese, "ix-Xaghra l- Bajda"), is a must see for anyone ho wishes toknow more about Xemxija.
