This island, often called Empty Island, has many natural wonders. There are rare species of flora and fauna as well as many points with waves that can be compared with back door Hawaii such as One Palm, Napalm, Pussy Cat, Illusions, Indicator,
Croc n’ Rolls, Angel, Bombies and Apocalypse. The most well known points are One Palm, Napalm and Apocalypse. In 1994 this place was the location for the surfing movie Second Thought. This movie not only showcased surfers and waves but also the struggle of the whole film crew to survive there for 5 weeks when their food ran out and they had to live on rain water and the fish they caught. No wonder this film won awards!
