Reason 7  The island is generally well populated from October to May although there is nothing to stop an owner from residing on the Island as a principal place of residence or business. Yes business!!

Reason 8 There are barbecue, recreational and general fish cleaning areas.

Reason 10   Whalers Bay is stunning and well sheltered from most weather conditions. Boat/Yacht moorings are available. Extensive white sandy beach for walking, swimming, partying, fishing or just walking along the beach bare footed doing that holding hands stuff.

Reason 13 Communications on the Island are excellent. And the STARS AT NIGHT are truly unbelievable. 

YES there are millions of stars “up there” and YES they do twinkle.
