Isola dei Conigli (Rabbit Island)

 

Isola dei Conigli (Rabbit Island)  - Rocky islet just off Lampedusa has sandy beaches & is an egg-laying spot for loggerhead turtles. Rabbit Island got its name from the abundant population of rabbits it once held. However, while the rabbit population has died down since the island was named, Rabbit Beach is still filled with diverse species of plants and animals that can be enjoyed by its visitors.
