You push off from a small harbor and the coastline blurs into a wash of limestone and sea. The skipper eases the throttle as Comino’s cliffs come into focus, the water turning a surprising turquoise that seems to dare you to jump in. Sun deck, snorkel masks, and an ice box are ready; the boat becomes both vantage point and basecamp for three hours of coastal exploration.

History

Comino has served as a strategic waypoint since the Knights of St. John; watchtowers and small chapels reflect its use as lookout and refuge along historic maritime routes.

Conservation

The Blue Lagoon is heavily visited in summer; minimize impact by using reef-safe sunscreen, packing out all trash, and avoiding anchoring on seagrass beds.
