# Comino in April: The Honest Version

April is genuinely one of the better times to visit Comino, and I say that as someone who thinks the island in summer is basically a floating car park.

Here’s the thing about Comino in late spring: it’s still quiet. Not deserted — you’ll share the Blue Lagoon with other visitors — but you can actually *see* the water rather than a wall of inflatable flamingos. The famous turquoise colour is real, it’s extraordinary, and in April you can stand at the edge and appreciate that without someone’s paddleboard in your face.

The 17.5°C average temperature feels cooler than you’d expect, especially with a sea breeze, so pack a light jacket. It’s genuinely pleasant for walking the island’s rough paths rather than the punishing experience it becomes in July when the heat is relentless and there’s no shade worth mentioning. The 10.7mm of rainfall sounds alarming but it’s light and scattered — you might catch a grey morning that clears by lunchtime. Bring a packable rain layer and forget about it.

What’s actually open is the honest complication. Comino is tiny, and services are minimal even in peak season. The small hotel typically reopens around Easter, and some kiosk-style food and drink spots start operating, but don’t arrive expecting a restaurant lunch with options. The ferry service from Malta and Gozo runs regularly enough, but check schedules because off-peak timetables are leaner.

Is it worth visiting? If you want swimming, genuinely maybe not — the water is cold enough in April that most people paddle rather than swim properly. If you want walking, photography, peace, and the rare chance to see one of the Mediterranean’s most photographed spots without the circus, absolutely yes.

**Practical tip:** Take the first ferry of the day. Seriously. The difference between arriving at 9am and arriving at 11am, even in April, is stark. You’ll have the lagoon almost to yourself for an hour, which is about as close to magic as Comino gets.
