Beach overall scores
Blue Lagoon beach (Malta) is located outside the Qala settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the coast of the Comino island and the correct question is not how to get to Blue Lagoon beach, but what mode of transport can be used to get to it, because this part of the coast is inaccessible by land. The beach can only be reached by water and you have to rent a boat to get there.
User reviews
"This place is absolutely stunning! It's definitely one of the most beautiful beaches around, but be prepared for crowds. The snorkelling here is fantastic and the pineapple cocktails are a hit with everyone. If you're visiting Malta, it's definitely worth a visit, but don't expect a peaceful and quiet experience."
Jasper Blackwood
"This location is truly amazing! Although it can get a bit crowded, it is definitely less busy than the main blue lagoon area. Plus, the added bonus of snorkeling makes it an even better destination."
