Minicoy Island beach
The most protected secret of India – as they call the island of Minikoy, a cozy place in the vast expanses of the Arabian Sea. Travelers at first sight fall in love with a coral reef and the calm atmosphere of a beach strewn with white sand and surrounded by crystal clear water.

Descripció de la platja
Tourists who come to Minikoy prefer to stay in luxurious local resorts with a gorgeous view of the beach and sea. The entire island is occupied by palm trees and coconut trees. The main attraction of Minikoy is the lighthouse, built at the end of the 19th century.
Sports life at Minicoy is in full swing. Guests can enjoy kayaking, scuba diving and snorkeling. If you plan to stay here for a long time, then you should definitely make a five-day Samudram cruise, which will allow you to explore the islands of Minicoy, Kalpeni and Cavaratti.
Minicoy is located 398 km from Thiruvananthapuram (the capital of Kerala). From here you can reach the island by ferry. The second way is to use the helicopter service. First you can get from Cochin to Agatti (the flight takes only an hour and a half), and from there – also by helicopter to Minikoy.
