Island of paradise! Beautifull beaches! Research center is closed. No service on the island. Walk to the south end of the runway and take the trail on right. It leads to the beach with coconut and from there, take the trail to Mt Perry is worth the hike a well! 45min walk one way.

Clear water and very relaxing. Take the path to the other side and you get a view of the open ocean.

There are two sandy beaches with good anchor holding. Both have great cliff views of the ocean as well as pretty good snorkeling along the south rock wall.
