Bigger swimming area as a result of temporary pontoon

The temporary pontoon which has been installed by the Malta Maritime Authority at Comino’s Blue Lagoon for a more efficient and safer loading and unloading of passengers by boat.

The Blue Lagoon is one of the three assigned swimmers’ zones in Comino and one of the most delicate zones in Malta due to the highly influx of swimmers and boats.

The pontoon is aimed to create a safer environment for both swimmers and boat owners in the area and has led to an increase in the area of the actual zone reserved for swimmers. In fact, whereas before, the existent small sandy beach was located outside the swimmers zone, the new marker buoys that delineate this zone have now been re-aligned to this new pontoon increasing the area available for swimmers.

It will be dismantled towards the end of September with the end of the summer season.
