An artificial beach in Maldives may sound completely unnecessary until one realises that the island’s capital, Malé, lacks a good natural one. Maldives consists of over a thousand islands and is well known for its beaches, which are pristine and beautiful. While each beach is unique they share some common features. The beaches are usually made up of powdery white sand, the waters around them are generally shallow and clear like glass, and the ocean air always carries the mild scent of tropical vegetation.
However, Malé has not been so blessed. As the most populous and urban city in the country, the capital city is the site of many commercial activities which have stripped it of much of its natural beauty. Despite this Malé still contains many tourist attractions and remains one of the most popular destinations within the country. Its reputation as a tourist destination has been aided greatly by the development of the artificial beach. Although it was developed only a few years ago, the artificial beach in Malé has rapidly become the focal point of entertainment and recreation in the city.
While it was originally intended as a place where visitors can take a quick dip in the sea, it has become so much more. Many people come here in the evening to walk or jog. In the evenings the beach is filled with playing children, and it is an excellent spot for a family on vacation to visit. Carnivals, musical shows and parades are held here all the time, and one can even enjoy a variety of water sports at the beach.
The beach is in close proximity to the city’s biggest tourist spots and one can just stop by to watch the sunset after a long day of sightseeing. Although the artificial beach can never rival the island’s many natural beaches, it is still worth a visit. After all the ocean plays an integral role in any vacation in the country and tourists can ensure an enjoyable vacation by the sea by staying at Maldives Island resorts with good ocean frontage. The Naladhu Maldives is a luxury Maldives hotel with an excellent beach, that guests are sure to enjoy.
