At first you'll be like: wow, where do all these weird beautiful patterns come from? Then, when you look closely, you'll see this tiny little crab rolling little balls around. Move one and it will come back to put it back where it belongs. Really cool seeing these guys work!

User's opinion
They are your typical macaque, steeling, robbing, screeching, fighting and running around. It does look cool though! And it's sort of funny seeing them run off with someones shirt or shorts (which they had hung out to dry). Beware though, they can be quite aggressive!

User's opinion
Railey East isn't as pretty as the west...where you have beaches and a really nice sunset. On this side you'll find mangroves and, during low tide, mud. But this is also where all the restaurants are. So for a good meal...head east!

Railey East is scattered with restaurants. Don't remember the name, but the one at the very end (left when coming from Railey West) had a nice big deck and great pizza's!!
