# Comino in November: Honest Thoughts

Let’s be straight with you. Comino in November is a completely different beast from the sun-drenched, Instagram-saturated island you’ve probably seen photos of. Whether that’s a good or bad thing depends entirely on what you’re actually after.

The weather sits around 20°C, which sounds lovely on paper. And some days genuinely are – mild, breezy, pleasantly warm in the afternoon sun. But November also brings nearly 94mm of rainfall across the month, and on Comino that rain feels particularly dramatic. There’s nowhere to shelter. The island has no real infrastructure to duck into when the sky opens up, and the wind off the water can make a wet 20 degrees feel considerably more miserable than it sounds.

The Blue Lagoon, which in summer resembles a floating car park of tourist boats, is almost unrecognisable. You might have it entirely to yourself, or share it with a handful of other people who’ve made the same quiet pilgrimage. The water colour is still extraordinary – that’s not a summer-only phenomenon – and walking the island’s sparse paths without jostling past hundreds of day-trippers is genuinely peaceful. If you’ve ever wanted to understand why people fell in love with Comino before it became a meme, November gives you a hint.

What’s open is basically nothing. The one hotel closes seasonally. The beach kiosks are shuttered. The ferry connections from Malta and Gozo run reduced schedules and can be cancelled without much warning if seas are rough. You’re not coming here for facilities.

**Is it worth it?** For photographers, serious walkers, or anyone who finds crowds genuinely exhausting, yes, absolutely. For someone wanting a relaxed Mediterranean beach day, honestly look elsewhere until April.

**One practical tip:** Check the ferry situation the evening before, not the morning of. Crossings get pulled at short notice in rough November weather, and standing on a Gozo dock rearranging your day is nobody’s idea of fun. Have a backup plan for how you’ll spend that time on the mainland islands instead.
