St Paul's Bay Attractions

 
At the turn of the century, St Paul's Bay was a small fishing village, but in the last 20 years it has grown into a major tourist center.

According to the Bible, St Paul was allowed passage from Caesarea to Rome to stand trial for heresy before the Emperor Nero in A.D. 60.

In the autumn, St Paul and St Luke sailed from Palestine for Crete where they were to rest for the winter, but the centurion guard wanted to press further. According to tradition, the ship hit the gregale, an infamous and violent northeast winter wind, and the crew were shipwrecked on the northern coast of Malta.

St Luke writes about the experience in Acts of the Apostles 28: 1-2.
