Lepas Bay Ecological Reserve
The reserve comprises a small, oval-shaped island near the head of Lepas Bay, about 150 m from shore. Although the island is low, most of its shoreline is steep and rocky, including vertical cliffs on the southwest side, which is exposed to the open ocean. Beaches are absent. The hilly central part of the island has a thin soil cover which varies from stony to organic in composition, and is enriched by seabird feces and food remains.
