The engine's pulse rises as Sliema's promenade slides astern and the Maltese coast narrows into open water. Salt spray and limestone cliffs sketch the run to Comino; St. Paul's Islands appear, jagged and solitary, before the boat angles toward the carved mouths of Santa Maria caves. By the time you see the Blue Lagoon, turquoise water grabs your attention—the color so vivid it almost feels manufactured.
