| Abstract: | The South-East Region is one of the most populated and with the highest densities in the Maltese Islands. Its density is 24 times the EU average and comparable to European City densities. The region is defined as mostly urban with sparse rural and semi-rural areas. It has an indented coastline which was developed in ancient times into harbours and ports. The rocky coastline with low vertical cliffs around headlands in the Grand Harbour and the Marsascala-Delimara area characterise the coastal area. Sparse small sandy beaches are located around the coast mostly concentrated around Marsaxlokk and Marsascala. |
