Located some 4 nautical miles northeast of Fajardo it has a size of approximately 163 acres. It is part of a chain of small islands, keys and coral reefs known as La Reserva Natural de la Cordillera. The island is host to a fairly large amount marine life, coral reefs, birds, and land iguanas. It is the perfect setting for snorkeling, swimming, diving and beachcombing. It gets its name from the large amount of icacos bushes found on the island. The icacos is a small sour fruit, which grows to about the size of key limes.
