About Comino Blue Lagoon
Comino's Blue Lagoon is a crescent beach of crystal-clear turquoise water ringed by limestone cliffs, a landscape from Mediterranean postcard fantasy. The tiny island is nearly undeveloped, making the beach feel almost private. The water clarity allows snorkeling to see underwater caves and marine life. The lagoon is popular but manages to retain beauty despite crowds—the water is so perfectly blue it seems artificial.

The Blue Lagoon on the tiny island of Comino is one of the Mediterranean's most striking stretches of water — a shallow channel of brilliant turquoise between Comino and the islet of Cominotto, framed by white limestone rock. With no permanent settlement and only a handful of buildings, Comino is reached purely by boat and makes for an unforgettable day trip from Malta or Gozo.

Frequently asked questions
How do you get to the Blue Lagoon?
By boat — regular ferries and excursion boats run from Cirkewwa (Malta) and Mgarr (Gozo), with the crossing taking around 25 minutes.
Is the Blue Lagoon crowded?
It can get very busy in summer with day-trip boats; arriving early morning or visiting in shoulder season gives a much quieter experience.
Can you stay overnight on Comino?
There is one hotel on the island, but most visitors come for the day, as facilities are very limited.
Is the water good for swimming?
Yes — the lagoon is shallow, calm and exceptionally clear, making it ideal for swimming and snorkelling.
What else is there to see on Comino?
St Mary's Tower, a 17th-century watchtower, and the quieter Santa Marija Bay offer alternatives to the busier Blue Lagoon.
Traveler reviews
★★★★★
The colour of the water genuinely looks photoshopped. We went early on a boat from Gozo and had a stretch of the lagoon almost to ourselves.
Freya N. · July 2024
★★★★☆
Stunning but busy by midday — lots of day-trip boats arrive at once. Worth bringing your own snacks and shade.
Daniel R. · August 2023
★★★★★
Snorkelling around Cominotto was brilliant, clear water all the way down. A short walk to Santa Marija Bay gave us a quieter spot to relax.
