The southern island used to house a quarantine hospital for leprosy cases and a penal settlement for political prisoners and secret society leaders.

The hilly island spots white sandy beaches, swimming lagoons, coral reefs with hard and soft corals, picnic grounds and trekking routes. There are also holiday bungalows which are equipped with basic cooking facilities for rental.

Its actually a great fishing spot for those who have the luxary of staying on the island. There isnt much facilities though. Do bring your own food. There's a chalet for rent there but im not sure where to go to book the place.
