Cerf Island (1.27 km²) lies 4 km off the north coast of Mahé in the Seychelles. Cerf Island measures more than 1.5 km long (about 1 mile) and almost 1 km wide (almost ¾ of a mile), it reaches a height of 108 m (357 feet). The island is surrounded by a coral reef and the geology is granitic.
Cerf Island is the only island in the marine park to have a small local population who commute to Mahé for their daily business. It has a local population of around 100, mostly centered in one bay on the South side of the island, many who make the short commute by boat to Mahé for work.
