Comino

Comino ranks 5th in the list of the most beautiful coastal towns in Malta. The small and tranquil island of Comino, formerly known as "Ephaestia," is part of the Maltese archipelago and is sandwiched between the two larger islands of Malta and Gozo. Due to this, Comino is a very well-liked day trip destination for tourists in Malta. The flowering cumin plant that covers the island and other wild flowers and herbs gave it the name Comino, making it a stunning haven for nature and wildlife.

On Comino Island, there are a few lovely beaches to choose from, with Blue Lagoon being the most well-known. It truly resembles a scene from a postcard with its white sand and clear waters. Since Blue Lagoon is a very popular spot for swimming, snorkeling, and sunbathing and is frequented by many boats as well, getting there early in the day will help you find a good spot to sit.

Next to Blue Lagoon is Crystal Lagoon, another stunning beach. You would need to arrange a boat ride in advance because the beach can only be reached by boat due to the high cliffs surrounding it. Santa Marija Bay or San Niklaw Bay are the best places to go if you want a less crowded, quieter beach. Although smaller and hopefully less crowded than the Lagoons, both are gorgeous with soft sand and clear waters.
