The island features sandy beaches, tidal flats, and surrounding coral reefs, making it a habitat for diverse marine life.

Incredible snorkeling... be sure to venture over the rock wall to the deeper open side, be wary of the current ...its not to strong close to the wall but something to be mindful of if venturing further out while following a school or perhaps a ray

The most remote place I have ever been to. It's just stunning small island and a perfect to spend a weekend with a partner or bunch of friends. There is a beautiful reef just at the coast so it's a perfect spot for snorkeling. Quiet peace and beautiful nature!
