Saint Paul's Bay (in Maltese: San Pawl il-Baħar) is a town in Malta, situated in the north east of the island of Malta, 16 kms from the capital city Valletta. Its name refers to the shipwreck of Saint Paul, as documented in the Acts of the Apostles Chapters 27 & 28, due to the tradition that Saint Paul was shipwrecked on the isles, named St. Paul's Isles, which are situated in St Paul's Bay. The localities of Qawra and Buġibba, form part of St Paul's Bay. Buġibba is situated adjacent to Qawra and it has numerous hotels, self catering apartments, restaurants and shopping opportunities. It is a popular resort among locals and tourists. Qawra is also the site of one of the many towers built by the Knights of St. John. Qawra Tower is now a restaurant called Fra Ben. The town is home to many water-sport activities including banana boat rides and speed boat rides. Although this area is a modern tourist spot, there are some very pretty natural highlights close by. Heading north there is Mistra Bay, its headland and St Paul's Island. Going west and crossing the island towards Ġnejna Bay and Golden Bay is the scenic Wardija Ridge.
