At the very far west end of the cove lies the island of Las Arenitas. This island is larger and has plenty of firm land.  Unfortunately it is somewhat polluted along the edges from all the visitors who deposit trash onto the ground but few venture beyond the first 20 yards once landing on this island.  This is partly because Hurricane Georges uprooted many trees and bushes making navigation across the property difficult.  Another reason is because most people arrive with bare feet and swimsuit.  An exploration of this little island requires sturdy shoes and mosquito repellent.
