About this audio guide
This audio guide to the Blue Lagoon on Comino, a short boat ride from Valletta, starts with a headcount that makes no sense: the crowds of summer twenty twenty-four set against the handful of people who actually live on the island. It looks at the lagoon as a physical thing, a shallow strait between Comino and uninhabited Cominotto, and at what the white sand beneath it does to the colour. Best heard standing at the water's edge, looking across to Cominotto.
