A small jetty on the east coast of the island with a small seasonal restaurant services boat traffic.

In July 2011 the island hosted its first paintball game. Clear-shelled and filled paintballs were used so as not to leave any marks on the island's historical fortifications and tunnel complexes.[2]

The island also hosts all weekend and all week Airsoft games as of July 2010.
