From the first day in Malta I have heard talking about Blue Lagoon, the most beautiful Maltese beach. Obviously, I was interested to see this place with my own eyes and to take some nice photos. After our first English breakfast that we took in one of the seafront bars, we caught the bus full of tourists (nothing unusual) that brought us to the port. At first we couldn’t find the boat to go to Comino. Then we realized that there is no one public means of transport that travels from Malta to Comino. There were only small private companies that effect sea communications between the two islands. So we chose our little motorboat that belongs to the diving society. My fault was to have a seat on the front of the boat. It was so fast that I couldn’t hold well and was jumping all the way to Comino. The beginning of the day was perfect! After 3 minutes of the motorboat I was destroyed… But just as I saw the beach and the water color I recovered. Only after few minutes I realized that there wasn’t any place for us. All the beach was occupied by children and adults that were playing, shouting, swimming, eating, drinking, talking, getting a tan, quarrelling, laughing and (finally) sleeping. It was a real mess! My advice (in fact, two advices): if you want to go to Blue Lagoon, go there only during the week and after 4 p.m. otherwise you risk to destroy your back on the rock (as you won’t find the place on the sandy beach) or become as red as a lobster (as the sun is too strong).
