Popeye Village is one of Malta’s strangest attractions in the best possible way: a 1980 movie set that survived filming and became a family attraction above Anchor Bay. It is photogenic enough that many travellers stop only for the viewpoint, while families may spend several hours inside. Whether the entrance fee is worth it depends heavily on season, children’s ages and whether you want the included activities or simply the scenery.
The best beach in Malta for a family is not necessarily the prettiest beach on Instagram. With children, easy access, manageable water, toilets, food, shade options and the ability to leave quickly can matter more than dramatic cliffs. Malta has sandy bays, rocky swimming platforms and small coves, but the right choice changes with children’s ages and the day’s wind.
