A biological research station and fishermen's shacks line the shores of Playa Chica on the SE side of Isla Isabel in this 1999 photo. The two spires to the upper left are the Islotes Las Monas, eroded remnants of an offshore cone. The lake-filled Laguna Fragatas maar can be seen at the left in front of the spires of the Islotes Las Monas. The small 1.5-km-wide uninhabited Isla Isabel is a wildlife sanctuary.
