Finolhu Kanifushi island

Finolhu Kanifushi is an island in the maldivian Baa Atoll with a unique strip of sand, which makes it possible to walk for a long time in the ocean and visit three other uninhabited islands. The beach is excellent everywhere with tall palms and without broken corals in the water. A large lagoon is good for those, who like to swim far away. Shore and seabed: sand. [edit]
