Radar Station Aħrax View – A Hidden Mellieħa Sight with a Bluewaves Watersports Twist
Perched on the edge of the Aħrax Peninsula in Mellieħa, the abandoned Radar Station offers one of the rawest panoramic views in northern Malta. From its cliffs, you can see Comino, the Blue Lagoon, the Gozo channel, Marfa, and stretches of countryside that feel untouched.

- Blue Lagoon and Crystal Lagoon from a distance
- Santa Marija Bay and the cliffs
