A Day at the Blue Lagoon

#cityplaybook Take the earliest ferry from Ċirkewwa to beat the rush. Pack your own picnic—locals skip the overpriced snacks. Claim a shady rock near the far end of the lagoon where the water’s clearest. Dive in, float, and chat with Maltese families who’ve known this spot for decades. Hike inland to Santa Marija Bay for a quieter swim. Sip Cisk beer at golden hour from a cooler you brought yourself. Leave just after sunset, salty, sun-kissed, and smiling like a true local.
