    • When buying drinks and such at shops avoid ones on main tourist streets. For instance a 2 liter bottle of water will cost .70 on Islet Promenade in Bugibba but if you walk up the side streets a bit you can find stores that cater to the locals and get it for .30 for a 2 liter bottle instead. Other things can also be purchased for less away from the main streets as well.

    Tourist Trap: Rental Umbrellas and Chairs

    • I will say that the Blue Lagoon in Comino is a must see. Just beware the beach area is very small and therefore crowded. You will notice that some smart Maltese person had the idea to rent deck chairs and sun umbrellas. When you hear the prices it doenst sound like a lot, I beleive it was 1.50 Mtl for a chair and 2 mtl for an umbrella but for the 3.50 you could buy dinner someplace. When I went May 2005 3,50=€8,.16 Just seemed awfully steep for 2-3 hours.

    At Least Do This: You could bring your own umbrella and try squeeze onto the beach. Probably wont be able to get your umbrella to stand because you can feel the rock below the sand layer.

    However, many of the boat tours allow the guests to stay on board and sun and will rent you a deck chair for about 1mtl. No umbrella but you can get out of the sun by going below deck.
