Għajn Tuffieħa forms part of the Manikata village in Malta which is part of the Mellieha Local Council. Close to Ghajn Tuffieha three bays are located with popular beaches among tourists. The beach are separated by natural rock formations and therefore each have their own characteristics. Golden Bay (Maltese: Il-Mixquqa) is one of the few sand beaches on the north west coast of Malta. It was previously known as Military Bay. The white beach slopes gently allowing swimmers to easily walk into the sea. In summer months, there are lifeguards on duty. Golden Bay is the most popular tourist beach of the Manikata region. Several beach clubs and a large hotel are located on the beach. A bus terminus and car park are located at Golden Bay. Ghajn Tuffieha Bay is a red beach a short distance south of Golden Bay. It is quieter than Golden Bay and often visited by the Maltese themselves, as well as tourist visitors.  Source
