General Description of Salina Bay
Salina Bay is named after the salt pans cut into the inner section of this sea inlet. The water on both sides of the bay is quite suitable for swimming off the rocks. The bay is popular with visitors throughout the summer.
Market/Suitability
More upmarket than neighbouring Bugibba and Qawra.

Accommodation
The whole area offers a vast choice of hotels and self-catering apartments. Many aparthotels and complexes allow the independence of self-catering but with the facilities of a hotel.

Bugibba is the main shopping centre, offering the usual range of tourist souvenirs.
