Sliema and the coastline up to neighbouring St Julian's constitutes Malta's main coastal resort. It is a centre for shopping, restaurants and cafès. Sliema is also a major commercial and residential area and houses several of Malta's most recent hotels. Tower Road is its 5 km promenade, full of shops, restaurants, pubs, banks, supermarkets, internet cafes and day cruise boats.

The road continues north to St. Julians and Paceville and southward towards the Strand Gzira, Ta Xbiex , Msida and Valletta. Sliema was once a fishing town on the peninsula across Grand Harbour from Valletta. Their elegant villas and town houses line the quiet, inland streets.

The Sliema promontory offers, on one side, stunning views across to Valletta and, on the other, open sea views. The promenade, which runs for several kilometres from Gzira, just south of Sliema, to St Julian's, is ideal for walker and joggers. There are plenty of seats along the promenade and on summer evenings the seafront becomes a sociable meeting place for locals.
