On my trip to Malta I have seen many small buildings / huts very close to the water. On Golden Beach there were also doors in the cliffs with people barbecuing in front of them. Do people live there or is it some kind of weekend hut? Some of these spots arw only reachable by boat

They are illegally built boat houses. Mostly from the 80s labour party era.
illegal houses, you also find them a lot around gnejna, armier and other bays. beside being not authorized, without any permit, they are probably stealing electricity and water from the public supply as well
I have seen ‘normal’ people [ Family with kids.] go in and out. Are these huts simply tolerated or why are they, for example, on popular beaches directly below the hotels?
Illegal boat houses that both political parties are too afraid of demolishing. One of them, even gave them electricity
Basically if your grandpa was a criminal, your family now has a lovely seaside property, some of which are even air conditioned. If your grandpa followed the rules, then you have nothing, congrats.
You can even find some for sale on fb market place for a little fortune…
In St Paul bay, northern part, some are displayed with signs for sale
