List of islands of Puerto Rico
Adapted from Wikipedia · Discoverer experience
Puerto Rico is a beautiful place made up of many islands, small land pieces surrounded by water. It has over 143 islands, tiny islands called keys, and even smaller land pieces called islets. The biggest and most important one is the main island of Puerto Rico, which is where most people live.
Only three of these islands have people living on them all the time: the main island, Vieques, and Culebra. Another island, Mona, has workers from the Puerto Rico Department of Natural and Environmental Resources staying there, but no families live there permanently. Some other small islands are owned by private people or companies.
Many of these islands are special places for nature, like protected areas where animals and plants can grow safely. They all add to the rich and interesting geography of Puerto Rico.
