Isla de sa Porrassa
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Isla de sa Porrassa (also called Isla de la Porrasa, or 'Black Lizard Island') is located in the bay of the holiday resort Magaluf, Majorca, Spain.
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 118 ft (36 m) above sea level.[1] The island is uninhabited, but visited during the summer season by many holidaymakers, either swimming or on personal water craft from Magaluf beach.[2] The island is known by British tourists as "Black Lizard Island" due to the very high black lizard population present on it.[citation needed]
