# Visiting Comino in July: What You’re Actually Getting Into

Let’s be straight with you: July in Comino is basically organised chaos with beautiful water.

The weather is genuinely glorious. At around 27°C with almost zero rainfall, you’re getting reliable Mediterranean sunshine, warm evenings, and sea temperatures that make actually getting in the water a pleasure rather than a dare. That part lives up to the brochure.

What the brochure quietly skips is that roughly half of Malta seems to have the same idea, plus several thousand tourists arriving by ferry from Bugibba and Cirkewwa every single morning. The Blue Lagoon, which is undeniably one of the most striking spots in the Mediterranean, turns into something resembling a floating car park by 10am. Boats anchor side by side, inflatables crowd every inch of turquoise shallows, and finding a patch of rock to sit on requires either arriving uncomfortably early or accepting you’ll be standing. The lagoon doesn’t lose its beauty exactly, but it does lose its peace entirely.

The island’s infrastructure is minimal by design. There’s one hotel, a small kiosk or two, and that’s about your lot. Nothing is particularly “open” or “closed” on Comino beyond the seasonal food stalls because there isn’t much to open. The walking trails around the island are genuinely lovely and mostly ignored by day-trippers who rarely venture beyond the lagoon itself, which means you can find quiet if you’re willing to move your legs.

Is it worth it in July? For swimmers, snorkellers, and people who can tolerate crowds in exchange for spectacular water colour, yes. For anyone hoping for tranquillity or an authentic escape, honestly, no. Come in May, September, or October instead.

**Practical tip:** Take the earliest possible ferry, ideally before 9am, and head directly to Santa Maria Bay on the opposite side of the island rather than the Blue Lagoon. Same gorgeous water, fraction of the people, and you’ll actually remember why you came.
