There is also a small fishing village on the island's east side. Apart from the Cambodian Navy, which maintains a small base with a port, no infrastructure exists.
Three beaches attract travelers and tourists. There are a few guesthouses and a campsite.[1] After many years of attracting individual visitors, large-scale resort development is planned.
