There is no way to get to the island

Small mud island fringed by mangroves with a tiny lagoon in the middle. This serves as a nesting area for herons, egrets, and comorrants. Located in a no-motor zone so only reachable by paddle-power. When approaching use stealth (no talking or splashing) to prevent scaring off the nesting birds.
