06:52 June 6, 2019 - What looks like a huge amount of black seaweed (or whatever it is) is being cleaned up at the moment by a worker. Good job. Improves the beach a great deal.

Perhaps they have a new chef who doesn't use seaweed in his dishes so no need to collect it any more.

You would think with the expense of a holiday here.Added to the poor wages.Employment could be given for the clearance of seaweed which smells awful.

5/29/2019 06:01 Been watching this cam for the past 15 minutes and there are some huge sharks (fins out of the water) in he middle right just in front of the nearest patch of seaweed, about 50 metres out. About five or six sharks and they look about a metre long each. They may be black tipped reef sharks but I wouldn't want to be in the water with them!

Hi, first time actually writing on this site, but been watching for a year or more, having been to this island twice, the narrow piece of sand is classed as a sand bank, the reason so many people are walking on it, is the sunset, which can be exceptional, the sand bank goes out if I remember about 200m , the sea will cover it but only by inches, it's perfectly safe to walk on and to walk out on. If I remember , the highest point of the Maldives is around 3 ft above sea level, and even when we where there, we've been to other islands many times, the bad storms just effect the beaches , and many islands are sand dredging to help the islands, the dredger is a blue looking boat. If you ever get the chance go you'll be amazed.

07:48 May 22, Maldvies time - Hi PMM. I think the reason you saw only sea water, is because the tide came in. Every other time I have seen this cam, people are walking along a very long and narrow stretch of land/sand. Even a rogue wave could wipe out that narrow strip of sand. Notice that land in these Maldives islands/atolls are very very low in elevation. Come back and watch the people walking along. Once you see them at the far end, the people are tiny.

Not too keen on the close up style view just of the sea - when did it change?

It's just seaweed I think. Usually the staff clear it off the beaches in the morning before the guests wake up. I would love to be walking on this beach seaweed or no seaweed
