St Peter's Pool (Official: Peter's Pool), (Maltese: Il-Bajja ta Pietru) is a small bay on the island of Malta. It is located on the North Eastern point of the Dellimara Peninsula. The bay is a common attraction among tourists looking to snorkel.[1] [2] A small cave can also be found on western end of the bay. As of 2022 several fences and warning signs have been put up warning the visitors of falling debris from the eroding cliffs surrounding the bay.

A diving dog called Titti once appeared jumping into the water with its owner Carmelo Abela at St. Peter's Pool, creating an internet sensation. In the aftermath of the video shared online, visitors from all over the world have been enticed to visit the pool and perhaps even see the dog themselves. Although Titti passed away in 2019, a new dog named Tina has made waves online by demonstrating her impressive jumping ability. [3]

Around St. Peter's Pool are several historic landmarks to walk around and visit. Only a couple are actually open to the public.
