Tourists from all over the world go to visit since it was named World Heritage Site by Unesco because of its marine life. As 70% of the island is a National Maritime Park, you can be charged various fees during your stay to visit the majority of the beaches and do other activities. It is all worth it when you get to see the well preserved and hard to reach beaches, the amazing flora, fauna and swim beside a pod of dolphines.
