Things to do Ashore
- There are several mangrove creeks going through the island. The northern most one starts 1 nm north of the mooring field and meanders through the island coming out on the east shore by Camp Driftwood. Camp Driftwood is at the top of the hill just north of the mangrove creek. There is a path leading up to it from the beach on the east side. Camp Driftwood offers a spectacular view of the mangrove creeks.
