That's right! In addition to artificial islands, the Maldives has an artificial beach too. This one is located on Male, which, due to overcrowding, lacks beach space. Located on the eastern edge of Male, this is the only beach available for swimming. Protected by the breakwater, Male's artificial beach is a popular haunt for the locals. Go there to enjoy the carnival-like atmosphere, swim in the Indian Ocean, and enjoy sultry island vibes. Make sure to wear conservative beachwear as this is a public beach and you must be mindful of the conservative customs.
