How to reach St Peter’s Pool
Located near the fishing village of Marsaxlokk, accessing St Peter's Pool can be challenging. There are no direct public bus routes to the pool itself; the closest bus stop is in Marsaxlokk, leaving a long, exposed 30-minute walk down narrow country roads. If driving, navigate the rough, poorly paved tracks across the Delimara Peninsula. From the parking clearings on the cliffs, visitors must walk down a rugged, uneven dirt path with loose rocks down into the natural amphitheater.
Parking
Where to park near St Peter’s Pool
There are a couple of small, makeshift unpaved parking areas managed by local landowners near the cliff edge, which typically charge a small fee of around two to three euros. The access tracks are very narrow and bumpy, making driving demanding. Due to the limited space and high global recognition of this natural swimming hole, the dirt parking areas fill up completely during summer afternoons, prompting roadside parking.
