Oh dear, how did I not get 7. last night - its Sannat (Gozo), where I live 
(I can almost make out my house !) Its taken from out a sea, so you see Ta Cenc cliffs (or more accurately Saguna cliffs, just to the west of Ta Cenc) - the village right in front is Sannat, with Rabat behind and on the left - just happy to realise before Dave replied, and that Kiltman also didn't get it !

at first I thought it could be San Blas in Gozo, but the path doesn't zig-zag down. Its not Ramla, and there are no other beaches in Gozo that shape - I've walked around the perimeter of Gozo, and I would have seen it !

this is San Blas

it does look similar ! - San Blas is very small, so the zig-zag might be exaggerated (and it could be an old photo) ........... the formation of the rocks at the end of the beach, going into the water looks the same, so I'm going for San Blas, with a ??

Yes, these are fairly old photos - number 5 is the old Golden Sands Hotel
http://www.islandhotels.com/goldensands/page.jsp?id=2890&siteid=6
My guess at number 9 is my favorite swimming place Imgiebah

I think I recognize the pillbox at the top of the zig-zag.
I expect the boat is mine - I called it "Principessa tal-Birra" because I bought it with the deposit money I collected when I finally got around to taking my empty bottles back.

This competition has been a bit of a flop, I have been looking all day but can't see any fish in any of the photo's for me to give a name to ????, I really think that the next time we have a name the fish competition the least we can expect to see is a fish.
Prosit

Not exactly a competition, just a bit of fun, but I thought some of you might like to "spot" the location of this old photo taken around about 1900, I'm sure you all know it.
Clue: The building on the left is still standing today. Scroll down for answer
It is Balluta Bay, on the coast road between Sliema and St Julian's.
