The island of Santa Cruz del Islote in Colombia is the size of a football field. It gets attention because close to 500 people live on it. There are about 115 houses on the island. They were built on top of a coral reef. The island has four streets only. Because there is not enough space for many activities, most of the people live off of tourism and use boats to fish or go to other places. There is no running water. The electricity comes from two solar energy stations.
