Armier Beach, mostly subject to the NW wind (Malta’s prevailing wind), is generally safe for swimming. The area is still very rural and far from any hotels or major tourist establishments. This is one of the few areas which is left pristine and peaceful despite its popularity mostly by locals. Bars and small restaurants conveniently provide food, drinks, and beach facilities such as sunbeds and umbrellas.
