Playful fishing dogs can be found romping and capering both upon the tropical beach and in the village upon the island. Fruit orchards grow on the eastern side of the island and produce fruits such as round breadfruit, sugar apples, guava fruit, persimmons, purple passionfruit, large plantains, and juicy oranges. Among the fruit-bearing perennials [[myrrh]] bushes, [[ginseng]] plants, wild [[ginger]] plants, [[lobelia]] wildflowers, red [[elm]] trees, and [[echinacea|purple coneflowers]] can be found growing in abundance. | Playful fishing dogs can be found romping and capering both upon the tropical beach and in the village upon the island.
