The Agalega Islands are a small group of islands located in the Indian Ocean, about 1,000 kilometers north of Mauritius. They consist of two main islands, North Island and South Island, which are separated by a narrow channel. The islands are part of the Mauritius territory and are known for their beautiful beaches, lush vegetation, and diverse marine life. The population of the Agalega Islands is around 300 residents, primarily of Mauritian descent. The economy is mainly based on fishing and agriculture, with coconuts being a significant crop. The islands are relatively remote and less developed compared to other regions, offering a tranquil environment for visitors.
