On the small spot between the Comino and the Cominotto islet a marine paradise can be found. This is the Blue Lagoon – a wonderful place with completely transparent and pure waters of cyan colour. Great number of tourists come here by boats daily to have a rest in one of the most picturesque places of the world.
Coming to the Blue Lagoon you just cannot take away your eyes of the white sand which can be seen through crystal waters of the sea. Only the sky reflecting in water can sometimes prevent spying rich underwater life straight from the boats. Numerous swimmers, snorkelers and divers take their equipment and come to observe rich marine life from underwater. From the bay the Lagoon is surrounded by the rocks and narrow lanes of sand. Coming there with a family you can leave children playing in shallow water places and enjoy sun tanning on the beach or practicing any kind of water sports nearby or deeper in waters.
The Comino Island is practically not habitated so the Blue Lagoon is visited by tourists only. So at evening almost everybody leaves and when night comes the Lagoon stays empty. There are no words which could describe beauty of sunset and sunrise in the sky above these blue water and white sands and rocks of the bay.
Not only the tourists but also filmmakers are attracted by irresistible beauty of the Blue Lagoon. Its landscapes have already served as locations for shooting of such famous movies as Helen of Troy, The Count of Monte Cristo and The Swept Away featuring Madonna.
So being on Malta, make sure you will have at least half a day to visit this marine miracle. If you come in summer get ready to swimming, if you come in winter - be ready for walking, enjoying scent of wild thyme and many other herbs, taking shots of the wild places sights.

It's amazing... just be sure that u have at least 3 hours time to explore the island.

A great place. To avoid on rush hours. If you spend a night in Comino, you can come here after 6pm or before 10am, when all the tourist are back to their resorts.

Felt like a fish. Avoid when crowded if you want to enjoy this spot. It's so peaceful and silent. You can spend hours there without noticing

Stunning but go early in the morning to avoid the masses. Don't leave Gozo without seeing it.

Do not hire chair/umbrella unless you are there for the entire day. Nice place but overcrowded. Watershoes are recommended especially if you want to go to the other side of the lagoon.

Worth walking a bit to find different coves further along to avoid the crowds. Do swim across and through the 'cave' on the other side.

Escape the crowds by following the path up past the bathrooms and over a small ridge to much less popular and secluded swimming spots.

Yes, it is packed - but it is freaking beautiful. Buy yourself a snorkel and check out the fish.

I love this place, the water is so clean that you feel like swimming in a pool! In the weekends (and I guess also during high season) it gets really crowded

Almost no place to sit free. Sunbed costs 5€. But sea is incredible! Blue clean water, fantastic view, small fishes.

Swim to the other side of lagoon (opposite to the crowded one), there is small beach there and there is a cave you can swim through and swim out outside of the island. Fantastic experience.

Magical place with the bluest water I've ever seen. And a nice surprise - food has quite the volume and yet the prices are the same as everywhere else in Malta.

Get early! Get watershoes the rocks to the water are insane. Go to the opposite island Cominotto its much better. Take the ferry from Cirkewwa. Queues are aweful. If you're here, go to St Niklas Bay

Paradoxically, there's barely any access to the water and the queues to go anywhere are phenomenal. But the worst is he filth: bottles floating in the water, rubbish and cigarette ends everywhere.

Full of people, but still worth a visit. Try coming on weekend instead of the week as it is slightly less crowded. Also very rocky so grab a pair of water shoes with you.

Do not come here in high season (since June), too many people and no place to sit. Tour operators should limit number of visitors, otherwise none will fully enjoy the beauty of this lagoon.

Make it the LAST point to visit on your tour of the bays, NOT the first - gets too full of us tourist types! You can easily see why it's called Blue ;)

Tourist trap!!! Don't come here during high season, and if you do, pay the extra five euro to go to the smaller, and more quiet island cominito! It will be the best five euros you've ever invested!!

Skip the near side, crowded and packed with chairs etc. Swim to the other side and check out the pass through cave, bring a mask and snorkel. You will not be disappointed.
