It is located near the eponymous larger island of Comino and is part of the Maltese archipelago. Measuring 0.25 km² in area, it is the largest uninhabited island in Malta.

Geography

The island has a rugged coastline and rocky terrain. It is home to several species of seabirds and predatory rats. Adjacent to Cominotto lies the Blue Lagoon, a popular destination for tourists in the Maltese archipelago. Due to its ecological importance, Cominotto is part of a Special Protection Area.

History

Cominotto was used by the Romans as a hunting ground. In more recent centuries, the island has been uninhabited.
