Description

Birżebbuġa is a seaside town in the Southern Region of Malta, close to Marsaxlokk. It is approximately 8 miles from the City of Valletta. Popular among Maltese holiday-makers for decades, this village is perhaps best known for its important archaeological sites, especially Għar Dalam and Borġ in-Nadur, and a sandy beach commonly known as ``Pretty Bay``. The village name ``Birżebbuġa``, from the Maltese, means a ``well of olives``. Such linguistic evidence established early inhabitants were in the south of the island since the first millennium. The name also indicates climate and food.
