About

Santa Cruz del Islote (Spanish for 'Holy Cross of the Islet') is an artificial island located off the coast of Bolívar Department in Colombia, close to Tolú and Coveñas. It is a part of the Archipelago of San Bernardo. Its large population for its size has given it notoriety for supposedly being the most densely populated island on earth; however, estimates of its population vary greatly.
