Depending on the season, the vegetation changes color from green in the rainy season to orange and purple in the dry season.

Iguanas (land and marine and some hybrids of both species) are abundant, as are several varieties of birds that inhabit the rocky walls of the south side of the island, including tropic birds and swallow-tailed gulls
