Blue Lagoon, Comino, Natural swimming cove in Comino, Malta
Blue Lagoon in Comino is a natural swimming cove with turquoise water nestled between white limestone cliffs. The sandy bottom and shallow conditions make it perfect for swimming and snorkeling.
The lagoon formed naturally between two islands and was already used as a swimming spot during the era of the Knights of St John in the 16th century. Since then it has grown into one of Malta's most popular bathing destinations.
The lagoon serves as a gathering place where people from around the world come together to swim and explore the underwater world. It has become a cherished summer destination that draws both locals and travelers seeking Mediterranean water experiences.
Ferries depart regularly from Cirkewwa and Marfa ports to reach the cove. Arriving early in the morning helps you enjoy calmer waters and fewer crowds as the day progresses.
The water is so clear that you can see the seabed from several meters away. This allows visitors to watch the underwater world without needing special equipment.
