It\u2019s one of the most beautiful places in the area \u2013 maybe even the world \u2013 and is conveniently located right between Malta&#8217;s two biggest islands.

The Blue Lagoon is the kind of place you see when you close your eyes and try to imagine something resembling paradise. With crystal-clear water tinted various shades of blue and spectacular rugged cliffs located right in the middle of the Mediterranean, there\u2019s a reason that the Blue Lagoon is found on bucket lists around the world. If you\u2019re lucky enough to be anywhere near here, it\u2019s well worth a visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"where-is-the-blue-lagoon\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-white-color has-text-color has-background\" style=\"background-color:#4cc2c4\"><strong>Where is the Blue Lagoon?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Blue Lagoon is located on the island of Comino, the middle of Malta\u2019s three main islands. Comino is significantly smaller than the other two islands (Malta and Gozo), and is considered a nature reserve as well as a local bird sanctuary. If you\u2019re into movies, it might look a little bit familiar \u2013 it\u2019s been used as a backdrop in films like <em>Troy<\/em>, <em>The Count of Monte Cristo<\/em>, and <em>Swept Away<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"text-align:center;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d25818.069611865583!2d14.305317700301156!3d36.01397552753769!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x130e4b7a814d1d91%3A0x8621419121c59bc1!2sBlue%20Lagoon!5e0!3m2!1sen!2snl!4v1620306771989!5m2!1sen!2snl\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" style=\"border:0;\" allowfullscreen=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"what-can-you-do-at-the-blue-lagoon\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-white-color has-text-color has-background\" style=\"background-color:#4cc2c4\"><strong>What can you do at the Blue Lagoon?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tiqets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/shutterstock_620018342.jpg\" alt=\"An image of a man snorkeling around crystal-clear water in Comino.\" class=\"wp-image-116986\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>You can visit the Blue Lagoon and do absolutely nothing except admire one of the most beautiful places you\u2019ll see in your life. And that\u2019s totally fine! To really make the most of your visit though, it\u2019s recommended to try some aquatic activities.<br><br>One of the most popular things to do at the Blue Lagoon is snorkelling \u2013 it\u2019s a relatively easy and low-intensity way to see some of the local marine life and take advantage of the clear and pristine water found here.<br><br>You can also enjoy some peaceful kayaking (a great way to get some exercise as well as escape from other tourists), swim inside some of the Mediterranean\u2019s most spectacular caves, go scuba diving, and more. There are plenty of options available, depending on what your personal idea of fun or relaxation is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div data-tiqets-widget=\"discovery\" data-currency=\"EUR\" data-language=\"en\" data-cards-layout=\"horizontal\" data-partner=\"tiqetsblog\" data-product-ids=\"1013613\" data-tq-campaign=\"bluelagoon\"><\/div><script defer=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/widgets.tiqets.com\/loader.js\"><\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div data-tiqets-widget=\"discovery\" data-currency=\"EUR\" data-language=\"en\" data-cards-layout=\"horizontal\" data-partner=\"tiqetsblog\" data-product-ids=\"1012890\" data-tq-campaign=\"bluelagoon\"><\/div><script defer=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/widgets.tiqets.com\/loader.js\"><\/script>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"wildlife-around-the-blue-lagoon\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-white-color has-text-color has-background\" style=\"background-color:#4cc2c4\"><strong>Wildlife around the Blue Lagoon<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tiqets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/shutterstock_1268404654.jpg\" alt=\"A picture of a yelkouan shearwater, a bird that's known to live around the Blue Lagoon area.\" class=\"wp-image-117005\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>There are plenty of wonderful animals that call Malta home, many of which can be seen around the Blue Lagoon. While there\u2019s no guarantee that you\u2019ll see all of these, there\u2019s a chance you\u2019ll be able to spot dolphins and seals as well as various types of marine wildlife like fish and birds. Comino is home to a large colony of yelkouan shearwaters (pictured above), so there&#8217;s a good chance you&#8217;ll come across one of these feathery little friends.<br><br>Malta also has some unique creatures that can\u2019t be found anywhere else. Keep an eye (and ear) out for the Maltese ruby tiger moth \u2013 because even the moths here are beautiful. Similarly, if you hear the buzzing of a bee, try not to swat it away \u2013 there\u2019s a chance it could be a Maltese honeybee, a unique subspecies that can only be found in Malta. It\u2019s very important to the local ecosystem and has to compete with invading bee species as well.<br><br>There are also jellyfish at the Blue Lagoon, so be careful when stepping into the water or while you\u2019re snorkelling around. The jellyfish varieties here aren\u2019t deadly like the ones you\u2019ll find in Australia and other places, but their sting is still something that\u2019s best to avoid if possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"how-to-get-to-the-blue-lagoon\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-white-color has-text-color has-background\" style=\"background-color:#4cc2c4\"><strong>How to get to the Blue Lagoon<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tiqets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/shutterstock_295598882.jpg\" alt=\"Brilliantly clear water around Comino with various shades of blue.\" class=\"wp-image-116984\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>You can get to the Blue Lagoon in a number of ways, but there\u2019s one thing you can\u2019t get around: you\u2019re going to need a boat! From Malta (the island), you can take a ferry to the Blue Lagoon from the Cirkewwa Ferry Terminal, which has a direct connection to Valletta. If you\u2019re heading there from Gozo, take a ferry from the Gozo Ferry Terminal. The ride either way is incredibly scenic \u2013 even if you weren\u2019t going to the Blue Lagoon, cruising along the calm waters would be a notable trip in itself.<br><br>To reduce your reliance on public transport and make the most of the sights along the way, it\u2019s recommended to book a private trip. These are generally quite affordable (though luxury options are available) and give you the flexibility to make stops along the way, explore the local sights at your leisure, and avoid getting stuck in queues alongside other travelers. Coming by private boat also means you have a safe place to store any items and a \u2018base\u2019 to return to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div data-tiqets-widget=\"discovery\" data-currency=\"EUR\" data-language=\"en\" data-cards-layout=\"horizontal\" data-partner=\"tiqetsblog\" data-product-ids=\"1013616\" data-tq-campaign=\"bluelagoon\"><\/div><script defer=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/widgets.tiqets.com\/loader.js\"><\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div data-tiqets-widget=\"discovery\" data-currency=\"EUR\" data-language=\"en\" data-cards-layout=\"horizontal\" data-partner=\"tiqetsblog\" data-product-ids=\"1012893\" data-tq-campaign=\"bluelagoon\"><\/div><script defer=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/widgets.tiqets.com\/loader.js\"><\/script>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"best-time-to-visit-the-blue-lagoon\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-white-color has-text-color has-background\" style=\"background-color:#4cc2c4\"><strong>Best time to visit the Blue Lagoon<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tiqets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/shutterstock_620676914.jpg\" alt=\"An image of the Blue Lagoon featuring a small to medium amount of people and some tourist facilities like beach umbrellas.\" class=\"wp-image-116988\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Malta&#8217;s Blue Lagoon shares a reality that many of the world\u2019s most exceptional places have to deal with: everyone wants to see them. This can lead to crowds. The summer months will be the busiest, so if you\u2019d like to avoid the peak season but still enjoy some sunny weather, try to visit between March and May. You might also be able to catch some good weather in October and November \u2013 it is the middle of the Mediterranean, after all.<br><br>Try to go early in the morning. During peak times, it <em>will<\/em> be busy. It\u2019s still very possible to enjoy some peace and quiet at the Blue Lagoon though. Wake up before everyone else and enjoy hours of this natural wonder to yourself \u2013 or book a private boat and float around the lagoon away from the crowd. Taking the private boat approach might cost slightly more, but for a once-in-a-lifetime memory it\u2019s more than worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"what-else-is-there-to-do-around-comino\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-white-color has-text-color has-background\" style=\"background-color:#4cc2c4\"><strong>What else is there to do around Comino?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tiqets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/shutterstock_528916969.jpg\" alt=\"People standing on the rocks and swimming around the Blue Lagoon with sailing boats in the background.\" class=\"wp-image-116994\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Comino is small, but has plenty of things to see and do. Here are some other highlights on the island that you might want to check out while you\u2019re there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>  <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/iAKJ6dBtnGjdwCcB7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Crystal Lagoon<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Crystal Lagoon is located just south of the Blue Lagoon, and features (as you might have guessed) crystal-clear water that you can see straight through. Swimming here is a real treat, and it\u2019s generally a bit quieter than its blue counterpart.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>  <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/JroAUTF4Tn7pDYoq9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Saint Mary\u2019s Tower<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll also see another local landmark a bit further south: Saint Mary\u2019s Tower. This historic watchtower has some stunning views over the sea \u2013 which is partially the reason why it was built. Back in the 1600s, however, it was meant more for warning against potential invasions and pirate attacks rather than being able to spot seals and dolphins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>  <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/Bh6Jw1VgyUmHCm3t7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cominotto<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just across from Comino (directly across from the Blue Lagoon) lies an even smaller island: Cominotto. A visit here will let you appreciate the Blue Lagoon from a different angle, and give you access to some really great diving spots on the Cominotto Reef. There\u2019s also a beach with some impressive rock formations, and \u2013 if this persuades you at all \u2013 a great burger place.<br><br>  <strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/1Eiqrfmmu4AQC6ko6\" target=\"_blank\">L-G\u0127ar ta\u2019 Bla Saqaf\/It-Tieqa\/Ta\u0127t il-\u0126nejja<\/a><\/strong><br><br>In case you\u2019re having any problems with that pronunciation, this is also referred to as \u2018the Blue Grotto\u2019. Just a stone\u2019s throw away from the Crystal Lagoon are a number of hidden sea caverns only accessible by boat. When the sunlight hits the water just right, the cave walls are lit up with various shades of blue, from luminous hues to rich darker tones. It\u2019s a magical experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>  <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/YzUwnzhip8xhmNdb7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Saint Mary\u2019s Battery<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The above locations are all located on the western and south-western part of Comino, not far from the Blue Lagoon itself. If you want a very different experience on the island (one that\u2019s a bit quieter and more reflective), a trip to Saint Mary\u2019s Battery on the eastern side of Comino might be the way to go. This centuries-old fortress looks out over the sea and still features the original cannons used to defend the island hundreds of years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>  <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/QCJswpcnbWgPgVA48\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Santa Maria Cliffs<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another one of Comino\u2019s top natural wonders can be found in the north-eastern corner of the island. The Santa Maria Cliffs are rugged limestone formations featuring incredible views and \u2013 of course \u2013 some spectacular hidden caves. The cliffs overlook the Santa Maria Bay, featuring some of the best beaches on the island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>To really make the most of your trip, it\u2019s best to <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiqets.com\/en\/malta-attractions-z50153\/\" target=\"_blank\">take a tour<\/a>. These aren\u2019t the standard \u2018\u2019follow your flag-holding guide while they drag you through the crowds\u2019\u2019 tours \u2013 Malta\u2019s excursions are a bit more adventurous. You\u2019ll cruise across the water (visiting spectacular caves and spotting the local wildlife), speed along the hills on an ATV, walk along medieval fortifications, and get the benefit of an expert local guide along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div data-tiqets-widget=\"discovery\" data-currency=\"EUR\" data-language=\"en\" data-cards-layout=\"horizontal\" data-partner=\"tiqetsblog\" data-product-ids=\"976527\" data-tq-campaign=\"bluelagoon\"><\/div><script defer=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/widgets.tiqets.com\/loader.js\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<div data-tiqets-widget=\"discovery\" data-currency=\"EUR\" data-language=\"en\" data-cards-layout=\"horizontal\" data-partner=\"tiqetsblog\" data-product-ids=\"976426\" data-tq-campaign=\"bluelagoon\"><\/div><script defer=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/widgets.tiqets.com\/loader.js\"><\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div data-tiqets-widget=\"discovery\" data-currency=\"EUR\" data-language=\"en\" data-cards-layout=\"horizontal\" data-partner=\"tiqetsblog\" data-product-ids=\"976438\" data-tq-campaign=\"bluelagoon\"><\/div><script defer=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/widgets.tiqets.com\/loader.js\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<div data-tiqets-widget=\"discovery\" data-currency=\"EUR\" data-language=\"en\" data-cards-layout=\"horizontal\" data-partner=\"tiqetsblog\" data-product-ids=\"1013616\" data-tq-campaign=\"bluelagoon\"><\/div><script defer=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/widgets.tiqets.com\/loader.js\"><\/script>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"tips-for-visiting-the-blue-lagoon\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-white-color has-text-color has-background\" style=\"background-color:#4cc2c4\"><strong>Tips for visiting the Blue Lagoon<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tiqets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/banner-jordan__malta_-1024x293.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-122566\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>So far you\u2019ve learned where Malta&#8217;s Blue Lagoon is, what you can see and do there, and why you should visit \u2013 but how about some real local insights? To get some insider tips on visiting the Blue Lagoon, we spoke to Jordan Bonello Gauci \u2013 a born-and-bred resident of Malta who gave us some great tips on how to make the most of your trip to this beautiful area (as well as a quick Maltese language lesson).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-white-color has-text-color has-background has-medium-font-size\" style=\"background-color:#4cc2c4\"><strong>1) Come prepared and bring your own supplies<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">&#8220;If you can, make sure you bring something for shade. There is nowhere to protect yourself from the sun. Take plenty of sunblock, because the water is so clear that you\u2019re not protected at all! Most people jump in the sea to protect themselves from the sun, but that doesn\u2019t work \u2013 the rays just go straight through. <br><br>I would also recommend bringing your own food. There are food trucks at the Blue Lagoon, but there\u2019s only so many hygienic practices they can follow with virtually no electricity and no running water.<br><br>Something that Maltese locals do regularly when we go to the beach is we make something called a ftira \u2013 ftira is a type of Maltese bread, and we make Ftira biz-Zejt. It\u2019s basically a tuna sandwich with olive oil and beans. It\u2019s one of the most famous sandwiches we eat on a daily basis, and very loved locally. I feel like there\u2019s nothing tastier to eat on a sunny beach than a ftira!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-white-color has-text-color has-background has-medium-font-size\" style=\"background-color:#4cc2c4\"><strong>2) Arrive early if you can<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;If you&#8217;d like to find a place to sit, definitely get there early as early as possible! I believe the earliest boat leaves at 6 AM, which should let you find a comfortable spot. Usually at the Blue Lagoon, the beach is packed with locals and tourists alike.<br><br>It\u2019s often so packed that you\u2019re almost walking over people when you\u2019re walking to the beach! But apart from that minor inconvenience, when you\u2019re in the sea you forget everything \u2013 and you\u2019re in pure bliss.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-white-color has-text-color has-background has-medium-font-size\" style=\"background-color:#4cc2c4\"><strong>3) Take some time to explore Comino<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Comino is still virtually untouched, and there are still parts of the island that no one really frequents. One of the things I like to do when I go to Comino, apart from visiting the Blue Lagoon, is walk around the island. There are a lot of parts with some really long and interesting history there that you can see. The old bungalows of the hotel, old farms from back in the day, and more.<br><br>Comino is a great place to walk around. It\u2019s not too hilly, which is nice, and you can get around the whole island in 40-60 minutes. One of the main things I always notice when passing \u2013 I always pass it when I go to Gozo \u2013 is the tower that&#8217;s famous for being in The Count of Monte Cristo, in the escape scene!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-white-color has-text-color has-background has-medium-font-size\" style=\"background-color:#4cc2c4\"><strong>4) Try some of the local lingo<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Maltese is a combination of Arabic, French, Italian, and English. I\u2019d say 60% Arabic, 30% Italian, the rest is English and then maybe 2% French at the end. Quite a mix!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>English<\/strong><br><br>Hello<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Bye<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">How are you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Thank you<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Maltese<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Bongu (like <em>bonjour<\/em>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Caw (pronounced <em>ciao<\/em>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Kif inti?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Grazzi<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-white-color has-text-color has-background has-medium-font-size\" style=\"background-color:#4cc2c4\"><strong>5) Don\u2019t miss other amazing things to do in Malta<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The Blue Lagoon is famous around the world, at least in Europe. I don\u2019t mind that many people know the Blue Lagoon first, and then Malta second. At the end of the day it puts us on the map, and once you\u2019re here, you\u2019re exposed to so many amazing things about Malta. We\u2019re in the middle of the Mediterranean and this tiny island, a speck of land in the middle of a vast sea, has so much history. We absorbed so many different cultures and became our own identity, our own people.<br><br>If you&#8217;re coming to Malta, I would 100% recommend visiting the temples; there\u2019s the Mnajdra and the \u0126a\u0121ar Qim temples, one in Malta and one in Gozo. They are older than the pyramids themselves \u2013 some of the oldest manmade structures. If you\u2019re coming here for a weekend that\u2019s what I would recommend! If you want a top three, I would recommend those and the Blue Lagoon. But even though you can get a lot done in three days or so, you could easily come for a month \u2013 there\u2019s so much to do.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"how-to-be-a-good-tourist-at-the-blue-lagoon\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-white-color has-text-color has-background\" style=\"background-color:#4cc2c4\"><strong>How to be a good tourist at the Blue Lagoon<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tiqets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/shutterstock_1122909038-2.jpg\" alt=\"An image of a pineapple cocktail with people swimming and playing in the Blue Lagoon's water in the background.\" class=\"wp-image-116996\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The Blue Lagoon has made Comino a popular tourist destination. While it\u2019s still a \u2018hidden gem\u2019 compared to other major sites around the world, it can get crowded very quickly. Don\u2019t take the beauty of this area for granted. In recent years, the effects of tourism have really shown. There are plenty of positives, like a serious boost to the local economy and more income for locals, but there are also detrimental effects: tourists smoking and throwing their cigarette butts on the sand, leaving their trash behind, or drinking too much and becoming a nuisance.<br><br>When visiting Malta\u2019s Blue Lagoon, remember that you\u2019re a guest here. Treat it like you would treat someone\u2019s home, or how you would like others to treat your own home. Support the locals and don\u2019t try to haggle down the prices of their pineapple cocktails, make sure you take your trash with you, and try not to drink too much \u2013 especially if you\u2019re going snorkelling!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Malta\u2019s Blue Lagoon is amazing, but it\u2019s not the only spectacular thing you can see during your vacation.<\/strong> Make the most of your trip by visiting all three of the main islands \u2013 they&#8217;re closer and easier to get to than you might think! <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiqets.com\/en\/malta-attractions-z50153\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Check out the full list of fantastic things to do in Malta right here.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An in-depth guide to Malta&#8217;s Blue Lagoon full of practical tips, local knowledge, and delicious tuna sandwiches.<\/p>\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"author":31,"featured_media":11004,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[32,25],"tags":[26,28,27],"class_list":["post-11003","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-city-guides","category-europe","tag-amsterdam","tag-europe","tag-the-netherlands"],"acf":[],"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"link","format":"url"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tiqets.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11003","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tiqets.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tiqets.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tiqets.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/31"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tiqets.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11003"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.tiqets.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11003\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20100,"href":"https:\/\/www.tiqets.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11003\/revisions\/20100"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tiqets.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11004"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tiqets.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11003"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tiqets.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11003"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tiqets.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11003"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
