Coral Lagoon

This natural lagoon is a large sea cave with a collapsed roof, forming an oval-shaped rocky hole with a narrow entrance to the Mediterranean Sea. Inside the cave, travelers will discover crystal clear waters, in a calm, protected lagoon. This is a great spot to swim, or simply sit and relax away from the busy crowds of neighboring Armier Bay Beach and Mellieħa Bay.

Coral Lagoon is located on the northeast coast of Malta Island, just near Armier Bay Beach

• You can get here via land (5-minute walk from the car park, by boat tour, or kayak from Armier Beach (more info below)

• The Coral Lagoon has two other names, the Coral Cave, and Dragonara Cave.

• Inside the cave, you will discover crystal-clear waters, in a calm, protected lagoon.

• Due to the grotto's protected walls and exposed roof, the water temperatures inside the Coral Lagoon are often 2-3 degrees warmer than the water outside. As a result, more sea life grows inside the cave, hence, justifying its name.

This is one of the most breathtaking locations on Malta's northern shore, and once you see the aerial top view, you'll find out why this is one of my favorite photography locations in Malta.
