Filthy pathway at Għajn Tuffieħa beach

Għajn Tuffieha bay is one of the few remaining natural beaches in Malta. Being natural does not mean totally wild, though. In one particular area not far from the beach and close to the lifeguard station, human waste, toilet paper and used tampons...

Għajn Tuffieha bay is one of the few remaining natural beaches in Malta. Being natural does not mean totally wild, though. In one particular area not far from the beach and close to the lifeguard station, human waste, toilet paper and used tampons litter one of the pathways which lead to the beach.

Flies feeding on this human waste then go and touch bathers with the possibility of serious health consequences! On occasions the stench of urine overwhelms passers-by while the pathway becomes slippery from this waste.

I feel ashamed to walk with tourists in this filth! Is Malta a European nation or a third-world country? Perhaps the Gaia Foundation should put signs that this area is a natural tree fertilisation area?!

Urgent cleaning and the installation of chemical toilets would be appreciated!
