Marsaskala is a sea-side village in Malta that
has grown up around the small harbour at the head of Marsaskala Bay, a long
narrow inlet also known as Marsaskala Creek. The bay is sheltered to the
north by Ras iż-Żonqor, the south-east corner of Malta, and to the south
by the headland of Ras il-Gżira.
The name comes from the words "Marsa" (meaning
"Port") and "Sqalli" (meaning "Sicilian").
