2. Malta and Gozo offer a number of places ideal for bathing. The most obvious choice for families are popular golden sandy beaches, but bathing off the rocks is also extremely popular. Rocky beaches are not beaches with rocks instead of sand, but bathing spots where the coast is natural rock, often in the form of flat platforms ideal for sunbathing (without the sand) and sometimes improved by means of diving platforms and steps or ladders.
