Jellyfish in Malta – Perfect Summer to Visit the Blue Lagoon, Comino
adminSummer 2024 in Malta has been a dream for locals and tourists, especially those looking to explore the Blue Lagoon in Comino or take boat trips to Gozo. With significantly fewer jellyfish sightings this season, visitors can enjoy swimming in crystal-clear waters without worry. If you’re planning a visit to these iconic spots or considering a private cruise, now is the perfect time to book. Make the most of this summer’s ideal conditions and discover Malta’s pristine coastline at its best.
Back in April 2024, environmental experts predicted that Malta might experience fewer jellyfish this summer, following reports of massive blooms spotted along the southern coast earlier in the year. In an article published by Lovin Malta, it was suggested that these blooms might reduce the number of jellyfish sightings in popular swimming areas like Comino’s Blue Lagoon later in the season .
Thankfully, this prediction held true. Our customers have been thrilled with the unusually low number of jellyfish, allowing them to fully enjoy the experience of swimming in the beautiful Mediterranean waters. Whether you’re on a day trip to Comino, cruising with a skipper, or embarking on a private boat adventure, there’s never been a better time to explore Malta’s coastal treasures without the worry of jellyfish stings.
Why Are There Fewer Jellyfish in Malta this year (2024)?
Jellyfish blooms are often influenced by changes in weather patterns, currents, and marine ecosystems. In previous years, the presence of jellyfish along Malta’s coasts, including popular tourist destinations like the Blue Lagoon, has occasionally deterred swimmers. However, this year’s shift in environmental conditions has resulted in a more favorable situation for beachgoers.
While no one can predict exactly how each season will unfold, the combination of favorable winds and currents has kept jellyfish sightings to a minimum this summer, making it a dream season for water lovers.
