... Great aerial view of a small island home to a thriving marine ecosystem with stunning coral reefs, mangroves, seagrass beds, crystal clear waters and soft sandy beaches... it provides a habitat for an incredible variety of marine life, from colorful fish and crabs to starfish, sea horse, octopuses and sea turtles ... of the 42 islands in the park, Pirotan Island is the most popular and one of the two islands where visitors are normally permitted... but only in certain months of the year through special permission... the islands are uninhabited except for the workers at Pirotan Island lighthouse... it's a paradise for nature enthusiasts and marine biologists and all of this with no crowds or chaos... Thanks a lot Prakashchandra!
