Dog Island is the least visited of all the parks, but probably has the most beautiful  beach of any park - Great Bay has brilliant white sand with crystal clear water.  The only safe landing site is the crescent shaped , sheltered Great Bay beach on the southwest corner.  There is an abandoned landing strip in the northwest and a rugged, rock-strewn beach in the north east.

Mother booby with chick - can just walk right up to them

Largest blowhole I've ever found - this one is actually about 1 meter round.  Sounds like one is standing next to a jet engine.  Located on the southeast rocks.
