One of Green Island's most popular attractions is to be found underwater. The reef which surrounds the island supports more than 150 species of hard coral and at least 50 varieties of soft coral. Developments in services and facilities, including a recent upgrade of the small domestic airport, have made the island a popular tourist destination.
