Features[]
Measuring over 400 meters (1,300 ft) across at its widest point, the island is a feature at the heart of Magaluf Bay. It is 36 m (118 ft) above sea level.[1] The island is uninhabited, but visited during the summer season by many holidaymakers, either swimming, on personal water craft or on pedalboat (like S & B) from Magaluf Beach.
Since 2014, British holidaymakers have unofficially dubbed the rock "Big Swillers Island" due to it being seen as a rite of passage for young party-goers to try to reach the island whilst intoxicated. However local police have advised against this due to the risk it entails. [2]
