it is also one of the larger islands in the chain, measuring 49 meters at its highest point.  

the seabed on the north side of the island (facing ipanema) has large stones scattered underneath the surface, causing the depth to vary between 3 and 15 meters - making it the shallowest area in the archipelago.

on the south side there are submerged rock slabs that only appear in rough seas or low tide. the largest cove on the island, situated on the northwest end, also has a submerged rock slab some 10 meters beneath the surface.
