Red Beach Island

This is a smallish island, 7 miles long by about 3.5 miles wide. As the name implies, the beaches are composed of a rusty red sand. This sand comes from the iron rich rocks that are found all over the island.

The tallest point on the island is The Dome, a mile wide hump that rises 550 feet at it's center. The Dome is, like much of the rest of the island, covered in grasses, ferns and miniature redwood trees that seldom reach more than 80 feet tall. There are numerous old lava tubes running partially or fully through The Dome. Many of these are home for bats.

There are several spring fed creeks on the island, one good sized lake and two large ponds. No humans live here, but wildlife is plentiful. Deer, birds of all kinds, foxes, giant tortoises, land squids, several types of rodent and quite a few reptiles & amphibians are to be found throughout the island. Most have little or no fear of humans. The most dangerous creatures on the island are jaguars, but they are very secretive and hard to find.

The western side of the island has a small natural harbor and several groves of fruit trees. On the whole, this island would make a great re-supply stop or even a hideout for those adventurers that need such a place.
