Why to visit Minicoy Islands
The Islands are known for their beautiful white sand beaches and clear blue Arabian Sea seas. The entire island is covered in palm and coconut trees, adding to the natural beauty of the area. The old lighthouse, which was built by Britishers in 1885 and offers a breathtaking view of the Minicoy and the majestic sea, is a key attraction on the island.
Minicoy, also known as Maliku in the local language, is one of India's best-kept secrets. It is one of the 36 small islets that make up the Lakshadweep group of islands. It is located in the wide Arabian Sea, approximately 398 kilometres (215 nautical miles) from Cochin's coastline.
The small island has a total area of 4.801 square kilometres and is famous for its brilliant coral reefs, charming white-sand beaches, and the endless ocean's freshwater. The Minicoy Island is the Lakshadweep's second-largest island and one of the group's few inhabited islands.
