It has become a popular tourism destination for all the obvious reasons: meandering waterways, mountainous backdrops, pristine shorelines and a real opportunity to get away from it all without the risks or travel distances inherent in many other more remote and exposed coastal areas. The Discovery Islands also offer an incredible mix of land features that add to the charm, as you can as easily explore islands without the need to put a paddle near the water. \u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe resolution is 1:61,535.
