Along the walk around Selmun’s landscape, you should come across a beautiful clay cliff were friendly pigeons and lovely corals thrive around the crystal waters. The area is surrounded by several standing WW2 military installations (as it was an area were soldiers would attack – as it is in fact next to Fort Campbell). In front of the cliffs, you will notice an island called ‘St.Paul’s Island’, were St.Paul the Apostle is believed to had shipwrecked there in such a violent storm while he was on his way to Rome over 2,000 years ago (introducing christian faith to Malta).

One can decide to kayak or swim to the islands (which is 100m afar) to pay a visit. It is a tiny island, however you will come across a 7m high statue of the Apostle & a Christian cross from 1845. Or else, enjoy the beautiful landscape of Selmun.
