Maldive Islands is an island nation in the Indian Ocean formed by a double chain of twenty-six atolls oriented north-south off India's Lakshadweep islands, between Minicoy Island and Chagos Archipelago. It stands in the Laccadive Sea, about seven hundred kilometers south-west of Sri Lanka and south-west of India.

The Maldives is the lowest country in the world, with a maximum natural ground level of only 2.3 metres (7 ft 7 in), with the average being only 1.5 metres (4 ft 11 in) above sea level, although in areas where construction exists, this has been increased to several metres. More than 80 per cent of the country's land, composed of coral islands scattered over an area about 850 km across the equator, is less than one metre above sea level

The Maldives consists of approximately 1,190 coral islands grouped in a double chain of 26 atolls, along the north-south direction, spread over roughly 90,000 square kilometres, making this one of the most dispersed countries in the world.

Coral reefs are home to a variety of marine ecosystems that vary from planktonic organisms to sharks, crustaceans and sponges.

Maldives waters are home to wide variety of ecosystems, but it is most noted for their variety of colorful coral reefs, home to 300 species of fish. Seven species have been described as new to science, several more await description. Over 400 have been identified and catalogued and many are now held in the reference collection, including 5 species of turtles, 51 species of echinoderms, 5 species of sea grasses and 285 species of alga & sponges, crustaceans, and tunicates.

The Maldives archipelago possesses a truly unique geography as a small island country. Nature has fragmented the archipelago into 1,190 tiny islands that occupy a mere one per cent of its 90,000 km2 territory. Only 185 islands are home to its 300,000 population, while the other islands are used entirely for economic purposes of which tourism and agriculture are the most dominant.

The development of tourism has fostered the overall growth of the country's economy. It has created direct and indirect employment and income generation opportunities in other related industries. The first tourist resorts were opened in 1972 with Bandos island resort and Kurumba Village.

The number of resorts has increased from 2 to 92 between 1972 and 2007. As of 2007, over 8,380,000 tourists had visited Maldives.

Most visitors arrive at Male International Airport, on Hulhule Island, adjacent to the capital Male. The airport is served by an array of flights to India, Sri Lanka, Doha, Dubai and major airports in South-East Asia, as well as an increasing number of charters from Europe.

Maldives was the first country to hold a cabinet meeting underwater. The cabinet meeting was chaired by President Mohamed Nasheed. In the meeting, the President, Vice President, and the cabinet signed a declaration calling for concerted global action on climate change, ahead of the UN climate conference in Copenhagen. The underwater meeting was part of a wider campaign by international environmental NGO 350.org. source: wikipedia

Pink Sands Beach

Most of the Bahamas beaches have white or golden sand, but this beach on Harbor Island boasts sand in the soft hue of pink. Consistently appearing on lists of the top beaches, this quiet stretch of sand is known and loved for its natural beauty. The pink sand nicely contrasts with the brilliantly blue skies, the clear blue waters, and the green of the palm trees. Pink Sands Beach Bahamas is worth a visit even if you’re not planning on swimming.

Pink Sands Beach in Harbour Island, Bahamas is known throughout the world as one of the best beaches on the planet. The Travel Channel, Conde Nast and other premier travel guides have placed this beach in their top list of beaches.

The color of Pink Sands Beach comes from the reddish pink shells of microscopic coral insects called Foraminifera. When these insects die, they leave behind their shells. Their shells are then crushed by the waves and brought to the shore to mix in with the sand, thus giving Pink Sand Beach its lovely hue. It is not just the color of the sand in Pink Sands Beach that makes it so famous. Tourists also love this beach for its gentle waves and calm waters.

Snorkeling and swimming are made safe and easy by outlying reefs, which provide large areas of relatively calm and shallow waters. Horseback riding on Pink Sands Beach is a popular activity for honeymooners.

Poipu Beach - Hawaii

The most popular beach on the South Shore is Poipu Beach, which is fronted by Poipu Beach Park, and a few resorts. Poipu Beach was named America's Best Beach by The Travel Channel, ranking top among the 10 "best" beaches selected nationwide. This beach is a series of golden sand crescents, strung together where beach-goers will find snorkeling, swimming, a natural ocean wading pool, boogie-boarding and surfing.


For a brush with tropical foliage and fauna, stop in at the National Tropical Botanical Gardens, where the carefully tended McBryde and Allerton Gardens house thousands of tropical plant-species.

If you're still hankering deep-down for a ride as the sun rises on horseback down one of Kauai's fine beaches, book an early morning gallop at the local stable. Soak out the saddle-soreness with an afternoon trip to the Anara Spa if a swim in the sea still leaves you hurting.

Whitehaven Beach is known for its white sands. The sand consists of 98% pure silica which gives it a bright white color. At the northern end of Whitehaven Beach is Hill Inlet, a stunning cove where the tide shifts the sand and water to create a beautiful fusion of colours. 

With its pristine, extremely white powdery sand and its different levels of depth, it offers a fusion of colours that is just amazing from the brightest white to the darkest blue, through all the tones of blue, green and turquoise, the scenery is stunning. Local rocks do not contain silica so it has been suggested that the sands were brought to the beach via prevailing sea currents over millions of years.

Whitehaven is perfect for swimming, snorkelling and scuba diving. Whitehaven Beach is also really popular for windsurf and kitesurf due to the wind, which is particularly appropriate for those kinds of sports.
