The beach offers an unobstructed line of sight to the Blue Lagoon on Comino.
The water depth increases very gradually, making the shoreline particularly suitable for non-swimmers and families.
Geologically, the beach is situated on the Marfa Ridge, which separates the North Comino Channel from the Mellieħa area.
The bay is a popular site for local sea-fishing enthusiasts during the quieter shoulder seasons.
Little Armier Beach is a secluded, sandy bay located on the northernmost tip of the Marfa Peninsula in Mellieħa, Malta. The beach is characterized by its shallow, crystal-clear turquoise waters and panoramic views across the Comino Channel toward the island of Comino. Unlike the more commercialized neighboring beaches, this location maintains a more laid-back character popular with local residents. The coastline consists of a blend of fine golden sand and rocky outcrops suitable for sunbathing. Several seasonal beach clubs operate along the shore, providing sunbed and umbrella rentals throughout the warmer months. Due to its orientation facing north, the water remains relatively calm under most wind conditions. The area is largely undeveloped compared to the southern tourist hubs, offering a more rustic seaside experience.
The elevated path overlooking the bay provides the best wide-angle composition of the beach and Comino island in the background.
Bring water shoes if you plan to walk along the edges of the bay, as some sections transition into rocky seabed.

Bring your own shade equipment if you prefer to avoid the rental cost of commercial sunbeds.
