Santa Maria Bay

I decided to come back to Comino just so I could do the trails to see the rest of the island since the first day I went there I only stayed in the blue lagoon area. However, I don’t think this part of the island is necessarily worth it to go if you don’t have many days in Malta. It’s a more chilled place than the busy main area of the island, so if you want to scape from the caos this is a good place. It’s also more accessible in terms of getting in the water, so it’s better for kids and families.

But other side of the island is more beautiful, and this beach is a bit underwhelming comparing to that. A bit flat. The track itself is beautiful but I went full of expectations and wasn’t amazed like I thought I would be. If you have time, for sure is something cool. But if you don’t,...

Very nice beach, we bought the 7 day public transport pass from the airport which includes a free trip to comino with captain morgan boats, which actually was not the best thing!

You can get two sunbeds and umbrella for 20 euros, or just sit there for free if you have your gear with you. There is food and drinks by the beach, and much much much fewer people! And there is...

Beautiful place to relax.

Santa Maria Bay is located in Comino and this small, sandy beach is a quieter option than its popular neighbour, The Blue Lagoon, which is only a 20 minute walk away. Even though Santa Maria Bay is not as beautiful and breathtaking as the Lagoon, it is a better option for the bathers looking for some relaxation.

Santa Maria Bay has shallow, clear waters and is set just next to Comino’s cute little police station to keep control the boats around Comino. It is mostly the locals coming with boats or guests from the Comino Hotel, as the 20 min walk from The Blue Lagoon can be exhausting in the summer heat. Santa Maria Bay might have some dead algae on the shore due to the currents, other than that, the beach is clean with...
