St Peter’s Pool is a popular tourist destination in Malta for those looking to cliff jump, swim, and snorkel.

A diving dog called Titti once appeared jumping into the water with its owner Carmelo Abela, creating an internet sensation. 

We met up at Marco Polo hostel ➙ astonished to have so many young people. Most of this mob are a Squash team from a U.K university blowing off their midterm reading week, partying in Malta instead. 😀

We took the public bus to the fishing village of Marsaxlokk.

At least a dozen of these small boats offer to take passengers to St. Peter’s Pool for 5 Euro each.

On board, skipper let the young people choose the music. First song played was Bad Bunny Tití Me Preguntó.

It was freezing — but at least 10 of the young people jumped.

This area is not all that clean. Nor officially maintained.

After seeing many rats in S.E. Asia, this was my first in 2026.

Before dark we walked the cliffs a half hour to a popular local restaurant. I had the Malta pasta. Very flavourful.

Yes, the eroding edge frequently collapses. I’d call this cliff walk dangerous.

Another excellent trip led by Paty for Marco Polo hostel.
