Naifaru island

Naifaru is an inhabited island located on the Maldivian atoll of Lhaviyani. Public beach is good enough, but bikinis are prohibited. There is also a home reef with good diving and snorkeling. Naifaru is one of the most busy islands in the country with a lot of shops and supermarkets. So this is rather a convenient entry point to explore many uninhabited islands around. Shore and seabed: sand, stones. [edit]
