A haven for marine life, including sharks, dolphins, and humpback whales, the park's coral reefs teem with vibrant fish species.

Once a penal colony, its remote location has helped preserve its natural splendor, offering visitors a glimpse into a pristine ecosystem largely untouched by human development.
