The name is "pool", but it's more like a diving point.

In order to get to the St. Peter's Pool, Google Map showed it's 35m walk. I don't mind walking around but there many not be much too see on the route, so I chose to take the boat trip. There are boat trip booths from different companies along the Marsaxlokk Open Market. We carefully chose one, but I don't think there're much difference after I came back. However, it can be sold out early, so you'd better book in advance. Also, after arrival, you need to keep the return ticket.

St Peter's Pool 4.5 < walk 35m

There seemed to be nothing around, so we've bought some snack and beer. However, I gave up drinking beer because it may be illegal seeing there're no one does so near the pool.

There were two other ladies on the way in the boat. One of them refused to wear the live vest, but the sailor insited otherwise he may get a fine. Somehow it gives me relief that they have somewhat reliable system.

I thought that this is a giant boat, but it turned out to be a tightly connected structure to the ground.

The product was "boat trip" but it was more like prvate transportation. The sailor gave us brief infomation during the trip, but not something I'd buy for. However, transportation itself and the joy of sailing still worthed it.

It's basically a round trip but you can take off any point such as Il-Kalanka. However, you can only take the return boat back to Marsaxlokk on the booked time, so if you get off here you can't visit St. Peter's Pool.

This where we took off and the pool is around the cliff to the right.

I've already seen the photo but the whole scene felt totally different on the spot.

Her swimming class for the last half year finally pays back.

The harbour-like point is so crowded that some people found other spots to jump.

I wasn't scared of jumping but not sure if I could swim out from deep down.

While coming back to pick-up point, still thinking if I should jump.

still thinking...

It's all rocks so you need towel to lie down on.

People wating for their return boat. You show your ticket to the sailor from where you stand, they still can see if it's theirs on the boat from quite far.
