Inside the island, you will find many water canals that start from the Fortune beach and end all the way down to the opposite side of the island.

The crystal clear azure water there is perfect for scuba-diving, so don't forget to take your equipment. Inside the lagoon, you will find a water pool that is excellent for swimming and resting under the hot sun.
