On the island you will find an abundance of tropical flora, including hibiscus, poinciana, frangipani, orchids, jasmine, and bougainvillea. Although there are really no large mammals on the island bats are common and you’ll find several species of small snakes.

Flycatchers, hummingbirds and pigeons are among the many species nesting on the island. The waters surrounding the island contain barracuda, lobster, turtle and conch, as well as crabs, eels, wrasse, grouper, jack and snapper. Sponges and coral can also be found.
