Mamutik Island

The 15 acres (6.1 ha) island makes Mamutik the smallest of the park. Despite
being the smallest, the island offers some good beaches and coral reefs. It also
has a jetty, a 3-bedroom resthouse for rent, and staff quarters for Rangers
station. Facilities include changing rooms, toilets, picnic shelters, tables and
barbecue pits. Fresh water and electricity are available. Mamutik would be an
ideal venue to get away from it all. The corals to the north-eastern tip of the
island are quite interesting. The beach is rocky and swimmers must be careful of
sea urchins that exist in large numbers beside the corals and rocks.
