One of our main go to's in the summer is St. Thomas Bay in Marsaskala. It's sandy, reasonably quiet and there are a few restaurants nearby including Zion Reggae Bar (http://zionmalta.com/) which is a great place to grab a drink and chill. Al Legna Pizzeria is also close (https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g227896-d9809647-Reviews-Al_Legna_Pizzeria-Marsascala_Island_of_Malta.html) and serves some tasty pizza. It's also a little closer than going to the North of the Island.
