Balluta Bay is next on the list of the Malta Tourism Authority for a sand replenishment project.

The government has already carried out a similar exercise in St George’s Bay in Birzebbuga, and a third bay in Marsaxlokk is also to be replenished.

The work in Balluta is expected to be completed in the next few days.

Last year, the government had also replenished Balluta Bay with sand derived from the seabed but the sandy beach was lost in a storm.
