CominO
There is nothing but it is beautiful!
If you feel like taking a trip to Comino, leave from Mgarr with a boat every hour in high season. The official price is €15 per person but you have to negotiate and compete (I've already paid €8 so it's possible if it's out of summer season). The return trip includes the tour of the caves (make sure it does this at the time you plan to return when you buy your tickets). No need to book in advance, touts are constantly looking for tourists to take there.
​
It is necessary to bring the swimsuit but also good shoes to walk if you want to go around the island.
Upon arrival at Blue Lagoon, there are plenty of stalls to eat and also drink cocktails. It's noisy and festive, better go picnicking in Santa Marija Bay
You leave from Mgarr and then on the island everything is done on foot
Course accessible to all but if it's hot it's long enough to go around (3h). If you have little time, first go to Santa Marija beach and then return to the blue lagoon to get to Lantern Point
Comino is very touristy and many are content to stay wading in the blue lagoon which is also the place of arrival of the boats.
Try to leave as early as possible in the morning to enjoy the calm.
On site, I strongly recommend that you get away quickly, it will be time to have a cocktail while waiting for the return boat.
SANTA MARIJA BAY:
​
a sandy beach and crystal clear water
You go left and follow the path. When you see the chapel, you go down to the left towards the sea and the small beach will appear. Swimming is very pleasant there and the beach is calmer than at the blue lagoon, with water that is just as transparent. But if the weather is nice there will still be people.
FROM SANTA MARIJA TOWER TO LANTERN POINT:
​
the cliffs of Comino are really stunning!
Either get there by going around the island, or by going to the right when the ferry arrives.
You really have to move forward on the cliffs and not just stay at the tower, the view is breathtaking (but don't go too far to the edge anyway)
