When tide gets to the lowest point, about 1km of sand field shows itself on the surface.
Hollow spaces between the reefs become blue lake, and remaining water that has not been flown off becomes thousands of streamlets. The beach offers fantastic view with graceful taste as Seagulls fly over. This uninhabited island is privately owned. Only one guard, a custodian, lives by himself with gentle sea beside him like Robinson Crusoe.
