Blue Lagoon Ferry Point (Comino) (Malta)

Weather…

The Blue Lagoon Ferry Point on Comino is the primary disembarkation zone for visitors seeking the turquoise waters located between Comino and the islet of Cominotto. Comino, the smallest inhabited island in the Maltese archipelago, served as a notorious hideout for pirates and smugglers during the Middle Ages. Today, the landing point is serviced daily by a constant flow of ferries departing from Cirkewwa in Malta and Mgarr in Gozo. The Blue Lagoon is famous for its white sandy floor, which grants the water its iconic crystalline color, making it a premier spot for snorkeling. Overlooking the ferry point is St. Mary’s Tower, erected in 1618 by the Knights of St. John to monitor the channel. Comino is currently a designated bird sanctuary and remains almost entirely car-free, making it a haven for hikers and nature enthusiasts. The ferry points consist of basic concrete jetties optimized for high-frequency passenger traffic during the peak summer season.
