Islands named in pairs are common in the archipelago. They help to classify the relative sizes and spatial proximity within small island groups and make it easier to read maps.

Classification

It is a very small, uninhabited islet. Its location is directly related to Grande Cacassaye, with which it forms a close pair of islands. Such configurations are typical for many coastal and lagoon areas.

There is no independent use of the site. Infrastructure, utilities, or tourist facilities are completely lacking. The location serves no function for transport or tourism and is not intended as a destination.

Depending on the exact location, protective measures may apply. Regular arrival is not permitted. Access, if at all, will be for private or professional reasons.
