Cardona (Ponce)
Cardona, also known as Sor Isolina Ferré Island,〔(''Repite con nueva marca el Cruce a Nado.'' ) Junior Lugo Marrero. La Perla del Sur. Ponce, Puerto Rico. 5 September 2012. Year 30. Issue 1501. Retrieved 5 September 2012.〕 is a small, uninhabited island located 1.30 nautical miles south of the mainland Puerto Rican shore across from Barrio Playa,〔(''West Indies Pilot, Volume 1.'' ) United States Hydrographic Office. Page 599. Fourth Edition: 1922. Retrieved 29 April 2011.〕 on the west side of the entrance to the harbor of Ponce, Puerto Rico. The small island is considered part of barrio Playa.〔(''Puerto Rico 2000: Population and Housing Unit Counts.'' ) U.S. Census Bureau. Publication Number PHC-3-53. Published November 2003. Page F-17. Retrieved 22 September 2011.〕 It is home to the 1889 Cardona Island Light, which is listed in the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. Together with Caja de Muertos, Gatas, Morrillito, Ratones, Isla del Frio, and Isla de Jueyes, Cardona is one of seven islands ascribed to the municipality of Ponce.〔Neysa Rodriguez Deynes. ''Brevario Sobre la Historia de Ponce.'' Second Edition. Government of the Autonomous Municipality of Ponce. 2002. Page 9. Printed by Impress Quality Printing, Bayamon, Puerto Rico.〕〔( CityMelt. ) Retrieved 30 April 2011.〕 The island gained notoriety in 2010 when the Puerto Rican Bird Society made it a target for the eradication of the black rat.
==Location==
The island, sometimes erroneously called a cay (or, key), is located at latitude 17°57"24.3' and longitude -66°38'5.9' (latitude 17.95672N, longitude: -66.634982W〔(Lighthouse Friends. ) Retrieved 16 May 2011.〕). The short distance from the mainland shore makes Cardona a popular landing point for aquatic events such as kayaking.
Located west of Ponce Harbor, the island has an area of 8.71 acres.〔(''Restauran hábitat del lagartijo del seco Anolis cooki en la Isla de Cardona y Cayo Ratones.'' ) BirdLife International. 4 August 2010. Retrieved 16 May 2011.〕 The island is accessible only by private boat, but it can be seen from the observation tower on the La Guancha boardwalk. It is not open to the public.
