Caravans and makeshift setups at Ġnejna Bay raise fresh questions over enforcement
Original source: Lovin Malta

New photos from Ġnejna Bay in Malta show caravans with artificial turf, furniture, and barbecues, raising concerns about enforcement. In January, police contacted owners of 13 caravans; four were removed, and charges were issued against the rest. The latest images question whether enough is being done to prevent long-term occupation and clarify responsibility for monitoring the area.

Petition With 1,175 Signatures Calls for Crackdown on Caravans Along Baħar iċ-Ċagħaq Coastline

A petition launched by Zach Demarco urges Maltese authorities to enforce stricter rules against caravans, RVs and boats occupying parts of the Baħar iċ-Ċagħaq coastline. It has gathered 1,175 signatures. Demarco argues that the growing number of vehicles reduces public access to the coast and affects the area's natural beauty. Proposed measures include regular patrols, fines, removal of unauthorised vehicles, and designated parking areas away from the shoreline.

Journalist obtains caravan coastal parking permit in Malta without owning one

A MaltaToday reporter secured a 24-hour permit to park a caravan at Baħar iċ-Ċagħaq in 10 minutes for €1, without owning a caravan or providing any proof of ownership. The online system did not verify age or identity — the applicant claimed to be over 60 despite being in their early 20s. Naxxar mayor Christopher Deguara said the council has no control over permits issued in its name and called for the system to be removed from automated processing.
