This is a tiny sandbank near Baros Maldives. In fact there are 2 sandbanks near Baros, one is very close and another one about 5km from Baros. Both are stunning and breath-taking. The sands are finer than Sexy Beach. But, way too smaller in size, about 10 to 15 metres in diameter. That is also in low tide. When the tide is high, its barely enough space to put 2 chairs and a table with a sun umbrella. This is like a patch of sand in the middle of no where. It sandbank sits in its own lagoon, surrounded by its house reef. Current is quite strong at the reef most of the days, you must wear life-jacket and have a rescue boat if you like to snorkel there. Closest tourists accommodation is in Baros. It takes about 25 minutes by speedboat from Male' or the airport. Low budget holidaymakers can find plenty of clean and comfortable guesthouses in Hulhumale', it is connected to airport by land.
