The islands used to be a vibrant community complete with 8,000 residents and a main street with businesses. A park since 1956, today there are 250 homes remaining, a few restaurants, a school, a fire and ambulance station and a haunted lighthouse.
The Mainland Ferry Terminal is a short ten minute walk from Union Station.
