Just off the western coast of the island lies an small archipelago of uninhabited islands. The largest of these is Illa de sa Conillera, literally translated at "rabbit island", due to its residents.

The islet has an interesting history, at one point is was used by pirates to attack San Antonio and now folklore says witches collect materials from there. It's possible to catch a boat across to the island from San Antonio, to have a walk around and to see the views from the 19th century lighthouse at Punta de sa Torre.
