Northwest Coast

The guide explains The island is covered with coral reef bits and pieces as well as fine sand composed of weathered seashells. The shallow lagoon on the island has an average depth of 1 meter during morning and evening tides. The rising and ebbing tides result in the accumulation of sediment deposits. The lagoon, in fact, has become increasingly shallow in recent years. Due to the flat seabed and long period between changing tides, plants and low-lying land emerge during the low tide period.
