The IOTA group SA-062 is composed by two islands:
Coroa Vermelha Island and
Coroa da Barra Island. These
close by islets are situated on the coast of Nova Viçosa, State of
Bahia. Coroa Vermelha, the biggest island, is located
about 10 nautical miles from the coast. This island is formed mainly
by sand banks which form small beaches in the middle of the atlantic
ocean. These sand banks are rounded by coral reefs, and in low tides
are formed natural pools with very good places for scuba
diving. The second island is just a small coral reef that only
appears above the ocean on certain periods of the year, and is
called Coroa da Barra Island or Sebastião Gomes Reefs as known by
some natives. |
