MTA’s Beach code of conduct for St George’s Bay

Malta Independent Wednesday, 23 June 2004, 00:00 Last update: about 14 years ago

The MTA has selected a team of experienced people to manage the beach for the summer months on a daily basis. The daytime team consists of a beach manager, beach cleaning attendants, life-guards and emergency medical rescuers. During the night, the beach is also under surveillance on a daily basis.

The water quality of the beach is also being continually monitored, while toilets and showers have been provided.

Bins have been provided for the separation of plastic, glass and metal, as well as for mixed waste. Members of the Department of Tourism beach cleaning crew ensure that the bins are emptied and that the bay is kept clean at all times. The beach management team also offers smokers at St George’s Bay reusable receptacles for the disposal of their cigarette ends.

The MTA has established a beach code of conduct in its attempt to ensure that the beach remains a safe, clean and relaxing space for all to enjoy. No vehicles, barbecues, campfires, dogs, amplified music, overnight sleeping and pitching of tents (after sunset), will be permitted on the bay.

Moreover, no boats, paddleboats or canoes will be allowed within the designated swimming zone. The beach management team, together with night security officials, has taken on the responsibility to ensure that this code is respected.

The MTA appeals to all beach-goers to use the beach in a safe and responsible manner and to assist it in ensuring that the code of conduct is adhered to.

The general public is being asked to bring to the attention of the beach management team or the MTA, any breach of this code of conduct and any shortcomings in the bay or its immediate vicinity on telephone numbers 2291-5810 (MTA), 2137-3111 (St Julian’s local council), 2133-2196 (St Julian’s police station). The St George’s Bay beach development is a joint project of the Ministry for Tourism and Culture and the Malta Tourism Authority.
