Bodufolhudhoo beach

Bodufolhudhoo is the residential island in the North Ari Atoll, Maldives. Bikini beach is beautiful, but very small, as the island is very densely built up. House reef diving and snorkeling are very good as well, but these are good everywhere in the Maldives. Shore and seabed: sand, stones. [edit]
