And it’s right next to Monkey Island.

The cove-like lagoon opens to the Caribbean Sea, but is also fed by underground freshwater springs.

It was once believed to be a bottomless lagoon that was inhabited by a dragon.

These days, the island is monkey-free, but remains a special place that is free of any infrastructure.
