There are several fine sandy beaches on the island. An abundant supply is available from large pools in Watering Valley. The island was declared a sanctuary in 1958 for the protection of the engravings and fauna. Smyth (1878, I, 292-3, figs. 44-46) mistakenly described the art as that of painting, an error repeated by Mathew (1893, 42). Mathew (1895) obtained information from Messrs. A. A. Hall and W. Byron about the art which corroborated Wickham's original account.
