Uvita Island
Uvita Island, or Isla Uvita (Spanish: "little grape island"), officially Isla Quiribrí, is a small (0.8 km²) island 885 metres offshore of the port at Limón on the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica. The island is 420 metres long from north to south and 315 metres wide, northwest to southeast. It is currently uninhabited, but there is at least one structure on the island, and a small dock.
==Island name==
Uvita has had several names over the years; in English, these include Grape Cay, Grape Island, and Uvia Island; in Spanish, the names ''Isla Uvita'' and ''La Uvita'' are now most common. The Cariari Indians called the island ''Quiribrí''. In 1986 the ''Comisión Nacional de Nomenclatura'' (National Commission of Nomenclature) approved the restoration of the name ''Isla Quiribrí'', and the ''Academia de Geografía e Historia de Costa Rica'' (Academy of Geography and History of Costa Rica) asked that the ''Comisión'' and the Municipality of Limón publish the name change in 2002 during the 500th anniversary of the arrival of Christopher Columbus on the island. ''Isla Quiribrí'' is now the official name but is seldom used; locally, the island is still referred to as ''Isla Uvita'', even on official government maps.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://academiaghcr.com/pdf/memoria_70.pdf )〕
