Dodola Island, Maluku

Go from island-to-island, no bridge necessary! That’s the case at Dodola Island in Maluku, where a wide stretch of white sandy beach connects the islands Dodola Large and Dodola Small. The walk from one island to another offers a view of crystal clear waters and permanent blue skies. Tired of walking? Take a break, have a picnic, and relax as the sun sets.
