A seafaring uncle once described Norman Island and its treasure caves, so graphically to Robert Louis Stevenson that he was inspired to write "Treasure Island". Many years later Brian Henson, son of the late Jim Henson, directed the filming the Muppet version of "Treasure Island" after having sailed the islands with his family on Wanderlust.

The other main attraction here is the notorious William Thornton, a floating bar restaurant in the guise of a pirate ship.
