The main attraction here for tourist has always been the coral formations along the eastern shore that gives the sea an unbelievably beautiful array of colours and the beaches with the whitest sand to be found anywhere. Visitors have also started delving a little beeper into the island’s architectural styles, native dishes, music, dance and other common expressions of local culture.

It has become commonplace to see tourist at one of the lectures about defending the archipelago’s ecological balance or to hear them exchanging opinions with the islanders during one of the reggae concerts.
