Santa Marija Tower
Santa Marija Tower is one of Comino's clearest landmarks and a reminder that the island belonged to a wider system of defence and observation.

Popeye Cave
A dramatic sea cave with a partially collapsed ceiling that floods the interior with shafts of natural light — hence the Maltese name L-Għar ta' Bla Saqaf (the cave without a roof). Accessible only by boat or kayak from Comino's southern coastline. Nicknamed 'Popeye Cave' by tourists, though the 1980 Robin Williams film was shot in Anchor Bay, Mellieħa — not here.
