In 1980, the island had few tourist facilities and accommodation was limited to two groups
of huts on either side of a central restaurant and reception. In terms of leisure activities, there
was a swimming beach on the west coast, and tourists could go sailing from the pier on the
southern coast. However, the east coast was undeveloped.
Today, the western half of the island remains unchanged and has the original
accommodation. The reception and pier have also not been changed. In contrast, the
untouched eastern part of the island now has a modern apartment block, which sits near a
new surf beach and diving school. A wooden boardwalk runs along the east coast,
connecting the diving school to the pier. To the right of the reception, where there was once
a group of huts, there is now a swimming pool, and the single restaurant has been replaced
with a larger block of shops and restaurants. Although the new buildings are more modern in
style, more vegetation has been added and access to and around the island remains limited,
with no extra vehicle tracks being built.
