Santa Cruz del Islote: About 1,000 people live on this tiny island in Colombia's San Bernardo Archipelago.

Compact: Santa Cruz del Islote is about the size of two soccer fields.

Day trips only: There are no guest accommodations on Santa Cruz, but day-trippers come from nearby Múcura Island to see the tiny enclave.

Turtles: A hotel on a neighboring island has established a turtle conservation partnership with Santa Cruz.

Sea life: There are no beaches on Santa Cruz, but undersea life is rich and varied.

The space issue: Houses are passed down through generations on Santa Cruz, and islanders are running out of space.
