Today is my first day on the Maldivian islands without any activity. No ferry rides, no diving, no snorkelling excursion.
I went to swim at Bikini Beach late in the morning and again late in the afternoon. Eight years ago, it was an isolated beach for foreigners. Today, there were high-rise hotels right on the beachfront.
While gorgeous to look at, the water isn’t as clear as in Gulhi. There was also more broken coral in the sand, whereas in Gulhi, there was a good stretch with pure white sand.
I feel that when I next return to Maldives (inshaallah), I will have to go further away. Gulhi, currently a little quiet, may be just right or a little too busy, depending on when my next visit is.
