Further along the coast, enormous hermit crabs, some reaching a mammoth 40 centimetres, can be seen trundling along the white sand. Goidhoo reef is rich in marine life, and whale sharks, turtles, rays and dolphins are common encounters here. Spend an afternoon kite surfing along the reef or kayaking to deserted islands.
