This island lies on a large reef and it has a large sandy projection that stretches northwards to Dhapparu, formerly a separate island. In 1963 there was a shipwreck in Filladhoo. This area is called "Filladhoo Reck" which is now a famous diving point in maldives. "Fomali" is a special sport played by the people of this island.
