Inside is a splendid landlocked harbor about 2 by 3 miles with the main island to the south and west and small islets to the north and east. The inside also contains quite a number of very small "mushroom"-like islets in addition to several moderately large ones, covered with scrub and palms. But the difficulty is getting in.
