Il-Bajja ta’ Santa Marija

Santa Marija Bay is a quietly beautiful anchorage off Comino, where you drop the hook in shallow, crystal-clear water ideal for snorkelling straight off the boat. A small sandy beach backed by tamarisk trees sits at the head of the bay, with a tiny chapel nearby adding a bit of character to the scene. It's noticeably calmer and less crowded than the nearby Blue Lagoon, so if you want warm, clear water without the buzz of tourist boats, this is your spot.
