Fonalá

Fonalá is a small island located in the southern part of the archipelago. Its terrain is characterized by gentle rolling hills and sparse vegetation, primarily consisting of hardy shrubs and grasses adapted to the saline environment. The coastline is a mix of sandy beaches and rocky outcrops, with a few sheltered coves.

The island's population is minimal, with a few scattered homesteads. The primary economic activity has historically been fishing, with the local community relying on the abundant marine life in the surrounding waters. Small-scale subsistence farming also occurs, focusing on crops that can withstand the challenging conditions.

Fonalá has no significant historical landmarks or major infrastructure. Its remoteness has contributed to a relatively untouched natural environment, making it a point of interest for ecological studies. Access to the island is typically via small boat from larger neighboring islands, and there is no regular ferry service. The local dialect shares similarities with those spoken on adjacent islands, reflecting a shared cultural heritage.
