Santa Cruz del Islote is an artificial island located off the coast of Bolívar Department in Colombia. It has an area of just one percent of a square kilometer in size where 816 people squeeze their entire lives. 

The island was uninhabited until the 1860s, when fishermen working around the island began to settle on the island to rest and to protect themselves from storms.
