Qawra Tower is a well-preserved historic watchtower located in St. Paul's Bay, uniquely integrated into a local beach lido. Visitors can enjoy the scenic Mediterranean backdrop while utilizing the onsite saltwater pools, which include a deep area for swimming and a shallower section for children. The surrounding bay is known for its exceptionally clear water, making it a popular spot for snorkeling and swimming, especially as the inner bay is often protected from rougher seas.

Qawra Tower is highly regarded for its stunning coastal location and clear waters, with many visitors praising the spectacular sunrise and sunset views. The site functions as a beach lido, featuring saltwater pools that cater to both adults and children, along with convenient amenities like showers. Reviewers frequently mention the excellent snorkeling opportunities in the protected inner bay, noting the water is typically calm and crystal clear. While the atmosphere is generally described as family-friendly and quieter than nearby spots, some visitors cautioned about treacherous rocks along the shore. A few reviews suggest that the experience is best during the peak season, as the area can feel neglected or undergo renovations during winter months. Overall, it is seen as a good value destination for a relaxed day by the sea.
