| BASEMENT |
| DETENTION ROOM
A dark classroom with no windows and horrible lighting, the room is located to the right of the staircase making it the first room in the hallway. It is actually behind the staircase and it has an old medieval like door with metal decorations and lock. Inside the room is very cold, at least ten degrees colder than the average temperature of the basement which is already colder than the rest of the school. There are several desks of different colors, textures and time periods filling the room. There are blackboards in all of the walls; the only part that is free of them is a few inches around the door frame. In front of the classroom and next to the door is an old wooden desk for the teacher to sit and observe the students. The room is rather damp and it tends to have random puddles of dirty water from whenever it rains.

| CLASSROOM X
No one really knows if this classroom was ever used for something or not. Right in front of the staircase there is a broken door where classroom X is located. Inside of the classroom students have said that it is reminiscent of a hunted dungeon and the setting of a room cleared out after a nuclear disaster. All the items inside are either from the renaissance period or from the very early twentieth century. Nobody has ever tried to fix the classroom or use it for anything because of the weird atmosphere inside, not to mention that when going in people feel an abnormal pressure surrounding them. The lights don’t work and just like the detention room there are many leaks in this classroom.
| 0 | 0 | |
| WOLF ROOMS
Next to classroom X there is a series of abandoned rooms used for students and staff members who are werewolves and want to transform in an enclosed space. The rooms are made of stone and windowless with heavy duty metal doors that only lock from the outside. On the inside the dark and cold rooms have nothing but scratches and small pieces of fabric. The stench of raw meat and dirty water fills each room. Each month people sign up to see who gets to stay in which room.

| GYM (2 sub-boards)
Separated into two floors, the first floor is where the students can play all the indoor sports from basketball to volleyball; the lockers are also located here. The second floor has the training area, meaning it has all the machines like the treadmill and exercise bicycle; also it includes a wide range of weights.
| 0 | 0 | |
| POOL
An Olympic style pool, with diving boards including, mainly used in the winter or rainy days when the students can’t use the lake, in order to change people must use the locker rooms found at the gym. Although the pool is off limits to students during the night, a lot of people have decided to come here past bed time hours. There have been rumors of people drowning but the staff neither confirms nor denies these rumors.

| GHOST HALLWAY
Next to the door for the swimming pool is another hallway that leads to a dead end. Is called the ghost hallway because of the random gust of wind that happen out of nowhere, the weird pressure that people feel which is similar to the one in Classroom X, not to mention that some people say they can hear faint whispers. The end of the hallway is actually blocked with pieces of wood that have been nailed shut, under it you can somewhat see a door; people have been trying to open up the hallway but have been unsuccessful.

| MEDITATION ROOM
In a sound proof room, with little to no decorations, only mats and a few cushions here and there. This room is not only for meditation but for yoga classes and even some martial arts classes too. The walls are painted white and it has a surprising warm and cozy atmosphere to it. One wall has ceiling to floor mirrors, there is also a small cabinet where some of the martial art equipment and yoga extra yoga mats are held. Also if students feel stressed and feel like coming here they may as long as a teacher or any staff member is here with them.
| 0 | 0 | |
| DANCE ROOM
Surrounded by mirrors, this is where dance classes are held, it can vary from hip-hop to tango, and there is a state of the art stereo next to a locker where students can put their change of clothes and shoes. The room is also sound proof and has a smooth floor, in one of the walls there is a barre and next to it there’s a grand piano for people who wish to rehearse ballet or tap dance. Normally students can’t come here unless there is a teacher around or if they have a pass to be there.

| FIRST FLOOR |
| HEADMISTRESS'S OFFICE
If you’re not a teacher, this is the last place where you would want to be, because the only reason why someone would be brought here would be if they are in deep trouble. Normally one wouldn’t find the headmistress here since she is always walking around the school instead of staying in her office. But when she is in her giant and elegant office her door is always open. The office is decorated with a lot of antique metallic and futuristic style things, so is basically like a steam punk heaven, pictures of past headmaster and headmistresses are found here.
| 0 | 0 | |
| AUDITORIUM
This is where all school meetings, plays, music performances, talent shows and other major events are held. This room has a very similar structure to any lecture hall, with a stage in the middle and thick black velvet curtains to both sides. The echo and loneliness of the auditorium make it a very eerie place to visit, especially if all the lights are turned off. Some people claim to have seen shadow people and ghost walking around the backstage of the auditorium or in the corners of the stage. The auditorium is located at the very center of the first floor hallway.
| 0 | 0 | |
| CAFETERIA
The cafeteria one of the biggest rooms in the school, is filled with round dark brown tables with black metal chairs, the cafeteria is one of the rooms with the biggest amount of windows, most of them facing to the courtyard. The cafeteria offers a variety of food that caters to the diet of every species and every individual in general. The food is not five stars but is definitely better than what could be offered in most schools. Lunch is about an hour and a half minutes long so those who do not wish to eat in the cafeteria can to town and eat there.
| 0 | 0 | |
| TEACHER'S LOUNGE
NO STUDENTS ALLOWED. This is a big and cozy room where teachers and other members of the staff can come and talk to other colleagues or grade homework and papers. The room is right next to the cafeteria and teachers can actually bring food here, or they could get something from the vending machines in their lounge. There is also a kitchen counter with a microwave if they wish to bring things from home, not to mention that there is also a fridge. The Teacher’s lounge also has a lot of couches and armchairs not to mention a coffee table and a flat screen TV.
| 0 | 0 | |
| COUNSELOR'S OFFICE
The counselor’s office is a small office that gives off this very private feel to it, it has mood lights and it doesn’t have a lot of decorations making it a very simple looking room yet still being warm, cozy and even Zen-like. Here students come to talk about what to do after leaving the school. Or to perhaps talk about family issues, identity issues or any problems in general. The counselor is always available for students and even teachers to just come in and talk about anything they want.

| INFIRMARY
Because having a bunch of hormonal super human teenagers in one place for four years, is bound to cause some chaos. The doctors and the nurses will make sure to treat anyone with extreme care and make them as good as new. There are two rows of beds with fifteen beds on each row, also there are giant cabinets full with different pills, and medicines that will cure anything from a bad cough to pneumonia. Visitation hours are never strict so friends and family can always visit patients whenever they feel like it, as long as there is a nurse or doctor around.

| SECOND FLOOR |
| CHEMISTRY LAB
The chemistry lab is a room with 2 rows of five black laboratory tables that can be occupied by 4 people at a time. It is common for people to hear explosion or see smoke coming from this classroom. The chemistry laboratory is equipped with state of the art supplies, and tons of chemicals, that range from basic to the most acid and dangerous ones of all. Some see it as a bad thing while some just like the opportunity of playing with fire and chemicals. The lab is closed and locked whenever there is no class being held there
| 0 | 0 | |
| BIOLOGY LAB
The biology lab is less explosive than the chemistry one; it is also where Sex-Ed and Forensics are held. Here you will experiment with bacteria, animals and anything biology related. Tons of microscopes, and skeletons surround this place, as well as a projector and a TV if anythings needs to be something shown. There are white boards in two walls and it is a very well lit room. This class is also always closed when there is not a class in there
| 0 | 0 | |
| ASTRONOMY CLASSROOM
A big and dark room, the windows are always shut so that no sunlight can come in. The desks are old and they face the front of the class where there is a giant projector screen and projector for when there needs to be a presentation of any sort. Surrounding the room are posters of constellations and planets. Some classes take place in the astronomy classroom located on the roof. The room like all the others is closed when there is no class.
| 0 | 0 | |
| GEOMETRY CLASSROOM
A very plain room with a wall to wall white board that always seems to have equations and shapes written on it, this is where all the geometry and trigonometry classes take place. Around the room there are a few figures of shapes and perhaps some posters reminding students about different parts of a circle or the classification of angles. The room is arranged so that there are black tables facing the front of the room; each table can have up to four students. There are also boxes that contain protractors, rulers and every single type of tool that would be needed for the classes.
| 0 | 0 | |
| ALGEBRA CLASSROOM
Much like the geometry classroom, the algebra classroom is a very plain room with absolutely no decorations on the wall. There are two sets of wall to wall white boards that are often filled with equations and formulas. The desks are attached to the chair and are all facing the wall next to the door. This is the room where all the algebra and calculus classes take place.
| 0 | 0 | |
| CRYPTOLOGY CLASSROOM
The third math class is devoted to cryptology, or the way to cipher and decipher secret messages. The class is small, with wooden desks and a single white board, but the closed windows and badly lit room give the class a more clandestine feeling so students rarely complain about the setting. This classroom is also the place where the “other” math classes are taught such as the economics and the statistics classes. The cryptology classroom is also the last classroom of the second floor being directly next to the computer lab.
| 0 | 0 | |
| THIRD FLOOR |
| LITERATURE CLASSROOM
All the classes that fall in the literature category are held here, such as American/British/Russian Literature, American Noir, Creative Writing, Shakespearean Literature, and Modern Literature. Etc some other classes are offered such as Grammar, Playwrights and Poetry. The walls are decorated with different quotes and posters of book covers. The desks are organized in a giant circle, so that when people are discussing is easier to see and hear them. The white board is rarely used, for the exception of the grammar class. Half of the white board is covered with student’s handwriting and drawings.

| HISTORY CLASSROOM
From modern history to economics and ancient history, here is where all history and political classes are held. Most of the classes that deal with historical times deal with all the different species that attend the school, rarely it talks about normal human history, with the exception of the Salem witch trials. Also the economics class deals with everyone as a whole. The tables are arranged in giant rectangular outline, leaving the middle for the professor to look around and talk to the entire class. Next to the door there is a wall to wall white board filled with facts and notes, to one side there are a bunch of maps of different areas and time periods

| MYTHOLOGY & DEMONOLGY CLASSROOM
A very dark and dim room with almost no windows, here is where the mythology class and the demonology class take place. Here you will find pictures of the anatomy of different mythological creatures; you will also find a projector and a screen for when movies need to be shown. At the very end of the classroom there is a giant bookshelf with lots of books about demons, myths and legends and anything involving those two classes. The desks have no specific arrangements they’re just all facing the front of the class where the projector screen is.
| 0 | 0 | |
| HUMAN STUDIES CLASSROOM
The room is organized very similarly to the History classroom. There is also a wall to wall white board in the front and on the other walls there are posters of the human anatomy and other things dealing with normal humans. In this class people learn about how normal human beings perceive supernatural creatures and the paranormal, as well as some basic facts about humans and how to interact with them.

| ROMANIC & CLASSIC LANGUAGES CLASSROOM
Latin, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese and Greek are all taught in this big classroom. The walls are decorated with pictures from the different countries that speak these languages.

| 0 | 0 | |
| SLAVIC & GERMANIC LANGUAGES CLASSROOM

| FOURTH FLOOR |
| ART CLASSROOM
Giant room filled with tons and tons of art supplies, the walls are covered in graffiti mainly with names and messages from students of previous years, in fact it wouldn’t be surprising to find the name of some of the student’s parents and the name of some of the teachers.

| 0 | 0 | |

| 0 | 0 | |

Right next to the art room, is quite small and darkish. The rooms are decorated with lots of photographs, some from artist and professionals and other from previous students who did a magnificent job.

| 0 | 0 | |

The room has all sorts of materials for students to look at their pictures, from the really old methods to the more modern ones, the room is also filled with all the supplies needed to print and frame the photographs taken by the students. This room is always open for those who perhaps want to come here on their free time
| 0 | 0 | |
| FILM LAB
A giant room with four rows of state of the arts computers as well as big cabinets full of video cameras, tripods and anything needed to shoot a film. Here is where the filming classes take place as well as classes such as animation and just the normal technology class. The computers have all the software installed to help students edit their films, or create animations, this classroom is also shared by the photography class when they need to upload some of their digital pictures.
| 0 | 0 | |
| MUSIC ROOM
A Sound proof room with almost every single type of instrument ever invented, some of the instruments are stored in giant lockers, while others hand on the walls or lay in display around the room. There is a small door that connects the music room to the small recording studio where the bands formed in the school record one song each year. This room is very popular with the students since they are allowed to come here and practice whenever they feel like it.
| 0 | 0 | |
| LIBRARY
At the end of the hallway there are wooden double doors that open to the library, a giant, cozy and elegant room with rows and rows of books. From fiction to historical, almost any book could be found in this place. There are also tables and couches for people that wish to stay and read, or perhaps if they are looking to get some homework done in peace. The library is open from 5am to 10pm so often there are student at those hours trying to finish big papers for their classes.

| ROOF |
| WHISPERING STAIRCASE
At the end of the fourth floor there is a wooden door that is always open; this door leads to the whispering staircase. A dark flight of stairs that also go directly to the basement, it gained the nickname “whispering” because a lot of people hear whispers and distant voices when going up or down the staircase. The stairs are made out of stone and because the stairs are not lit and because they are so secluded they tend to be extremely cold. At the end of the staircase there is another door that leads to the roof.
| 0 | 0 | |
| TERRACE
Coming out of the staircase there is a little hallway that then opens up to a giant semi circle, this would be the terrace. Some parts of the terrace are covered in weeds and moss that give it a very natural effect and it makes for a beautiful garden, some other parts of the Terrace are just plain stone with a few benches here and there for people to sit around. After the semi circle there is another narrow hall where there are a few steps that lead to the entrance of a tower.
| 0 | 0 | |
| ASTROLOGY CLASSROOM
After the small flight of the stairs there is a door that leads to a tower which is where the Astrology and Divinations classes are held. The inside of the tower resembles a lecture hall in the sense that all the students are seated around and at the very bottom the teacher stands. Unlike a lecture hall, there are tables instead of desks and seats made out of stone; all the circular tables go around forming a circle and in the middle of the circle sits the teacher. Because of the way the sitting is arranged there are no whiteboards but there is a projector that is cast around in a semi-circle on the walls facing the students. Lastly, this tower has two exits the one next to the flight of stairs and another that has a stone hallway that leads to the entrance of the Astronomy class.
| 0 | 0 | |
| ASTRONOMY CLASSROOM II
After crossing the small hall from the Astrology classroom and opening the huge wooden door is the second room of the Astronomy classroom. Inside of the room is where all the telescopes are kept, and there is only room for the students to drop their bags. This classroom is used for the actual work, so students go through the second exit and reach a semi circle; similar to the one at the other end of the terrace, and here they put their telescopes and observe the stars. There are some folded tables that can be unfolded and used by the students in order to take a few quick notes but for the most part the class is only observation and lecture. Going around this tower there wide hall that leads to the suicide tower and the sorrow staircase.
| 0 | 0 | |
| SUICIDE TOWER
When reaching the tower through the hall the first thing to notice is that the door is locked from the inside and the windows are sealed. However there is a staircase that coils around the tower and leads to the roof of this tower, which is also the highest tower of the school. The nickname “Suicide Tower” comes from all the student, teachers, visitors and past inhabitants of the castle who have thrown themselves off this tower. There has never been an exact number, but many believe it to be around five hundred. The tower is supposed to be off limits, but students still walk up to either explore or end their life.

| SORROW STAIRCASE
Continuing down the wide hall from the Astronomy classroom there is an entrance to a secondary staircase that connects to the school. This staircase just like the whispering staircase is very cold and has stone steps. The difference is that this staircase stops leads to the dormitory wing rather than the school floors. What gave this staircase the nickname “Sorrow Staircase” is because when people go down this staircase they often begin to experience feelings of sorrow, misery and dread, more over some people claim to have heard distant cries and wailing. Some explain that the reason behind that is because those who witness someone throwing themselves off the Suicide tower often went down the Sorrow Staircase.

| DORMITORIES |
| TEACHERS' FLOOR
For whenever the teachers are scheduled to stay overnight or for those who live in the Institute for the school year there is a floor reserved to them on top of the senior floor. Each teacher is assigned a room when they first enroll in the Institute, most of the time the room is a single unless teachers want to double or triple up. Each room has its own bathroom and kitchen area and the room are very spacious compared to the ones of the students, so is very similar to a big hotel room. The hallways are pretty clean, and the floor is completely secluded from the students’ dorms which is why most people see the senior floor as the top floor.

| SENIOR FLOOR (3 sub-boards)
At the top of the Dorm wing is the senior floor. Most of the rooms are co-ed and most of the rooms are either triple or quadruple, every now and then there’s a double room. The seniors also have bathrooms at each end of the hallway one for boys and one for girls; they also have their own small lounge, kitchen area and also a small game room which includes: an air hockey table, ping pong table, foosball, a TV, some video games and DDR mats, as well as a vending machine.
| 0 | 0 | |
| JUNIOR FLOOR (3 sub-boards)
The junior floor has a 50-50 ratio when it comes to co-ed vs. Single sex rooms. The rooms can range from three to five people, but rarely there would be a triple room available. Unlike the lowerclassmen the junior floor has two bathrooms at each end of the hallway, one for girls and one for guys. They also have a small lounge on their floor and a small kitchen area for midnight snacks; also juniors are allowed to have their own fridge in their dorms in case they do not wish to use the kitchen area.
| 0 | 0 | |
| SOPHOMORE FLOOR (1 sub-board)
Sophomore floor just like the freshmen floor has single gender rooms, although they have a few more co-ed rooms. All rooms are for four to five people, most of the rooms being for five people. Bathrooms are located at each end of the hallway. Sophomores lack a kitchen in their floor and thus have to share the kitchen area with the freshmen. What the sophomores do have is a small lounge in their floor where they can hang out after class if they do not wish to be in the general student lounge
| 0 | 0 | |
| FRESHMEN FLOOR (3 sub-boards)
A floor above the kitchen and laundry area you will find the freshmen floor, most of the dorms are separated by gender but there are a few that are co-ed. Also you will find that all of the rooms are set for five people. There are bathrooms at each end of the hallway. Freshmen do not have their own kitchen area and they are not allowed to have a fridge in their dorms so they must share the kitchen area with the sophomores.
| 0 | 0 | |
| STUDENT LOUNGE
Much like a living room, this is found at the bottom of the dormitory wing. Here students can escape from teachers and classes and just relax and chat with other students. Also at times is a great place to get homework done or just do some reading, or simply a place to just hang out instead of going outside or going back to the dorms. Obviously the Lounge is open 24/7, it has a giant sofa and armchairs, a table, and a fireplace.
| 0 | 0 | |
| KITCHEN & LAUNDRY AREA
Going through the dorm wing staircase all the way to the bottom there will be an entrance to the kitchen and laundry area. The laundry area is at the end of the floor it is composed of a 10 giant washing machines and 10 drying machines, there are also baskets available for students to put their things in, there is no schedule for the laundry so students can come here and clean their clothes whenever they wish. After the laundry room there are 4 vending machines, two for snacks and two for drinks, after that is the kitchen area. The kitchen is pretty basic it has a microwave, a stove and a fridge where students can store food, and sometimes even projects that need to be kept in the cold. There is also a dishwasher, but most of the food is advised to be served in plastic or paper plates.

| THE GROUNDS |
| LAKE
Located in the Southeastern region of the island at the opposite end of the shore and closer to the end of the forest is where one can find the lake. During the winter the lake gets a very thick layer of ice which is perfect or students and teachers to come an ice skate. During the summer and part of the fall it is the perfect place to sunbathe and to swim, a lot of people come here when the pool is too full or when they would rather swim surrounded by nature. Around the lake is easy to find benches and big rocks for people who wish to sit down and relax.

| FOREST (1 sub-board)
East of the academy, with thousand and thousand of trees, all tall and thick; this is the perfect place to come if you want to escape from reality. However, beware of coming to this place at night or during full moon, because you may never know who or what is roaming around that place. The forest extends to cover as much ground as the school itself deep in the forest one could find a pond, as well as other creatures that inhabit the place. Also don’t be surprised to see elves and earth nymphs.

| COURTYARD
Right behind the school there is a giant patch of green grass which is better known as the courtyard. The courtyard is the place where students come and eat their lunch if they do not feel like staying inside, also a good place to do homework or just get a breath of fresh air. There are a few trees planted here and there to give shade, there are actually no benches because the staff wanted to keep the place as natural as possible. However, there are rocks and logs scattered around if people do not wish to sit on the ground. The courtyard extends all the way to the west of the school where it is met by the sports fields.

| SPORTS FIELD
The sport fields are located west of the school, right next to the courtyard. The fields are for those who want to play soccer, football and things like that since sports such as basketball and volleyball can be played inside the gym. The fields are about half the size of the courtyard but it is still pretty big and has plenty of space for people to play a decent sport. During the warmer months the gym class and yoga classes tend to be held in the sport fields and the courtyard.

| TWIN GAZEBOS
Located around the same area as the courtyard but farther away from the school and more towards the east is where one can find two identical gazebos. With an octagonal shape the pavilion structures stand guarding the garden and greenhouse. The gazebos are open on all sides, with a small brick border that gives the open spaces the resemblance of open mouths, the roof is made of dark shingles giving both gazebos a very aged look. There only difference between them is that the gazebo closer to the school has a swing bench while the other one doesn’t have any type of seating.

| GARDEN (1 sub-board)
Found in the east side of the institute, behind the gazebos. The garden although somewhat small it is the perfect place to hang out with that significant other or for those hopelessly romantics who would like to admire a beautiful sunset from the garden. A lot of exotic plants can be found in the garden. There are no benches but there is a small patch of just grass for those who wish to sit down. Right next to the garden is the location of the greenhouse.

| THE ISLAND |
| GLOOMY SUNDAY CEMETERY
Almost every person that has ever died on the island since the 18th century can be found to be buried here, sometimes there are paranormal people buried here that never were in the island. The reason for non-islanders being in the cemetery is because the island is seen as safe space for those that are not human. A giant mausoleum is found in the center and is said to be haunted, there are also many myths that surround the place as well as many dares such as the use of a Ouija board in the middle of the mausoleum on devil’s night.

| SHAMAYA INN
Shamaya Inn used to be a very popular Hotel, but the death toll and disasters that have occurred in the hotel lead to its closing about fifty years ago. The list includes but is not limited to: four different homicides, a gas leak that killed all the people in the hotel, a fire and ten different suicides. This of course gave the very home like hotel the reputation of being haunted. Now the six story hotel is old and burned out but still standing as a moment in history for the island, even if the doors of this place are closed, teenagers still find a way to sneak in and use the building as a fortress to do all sort of illegal things.

| PARK LACUNA
Not the best place to be at night, Park Lacuna was once a beautiful romantic park that was right next to the Shamaya Inn; it included a playground and different kiosk for people to eat at. However, the closing of the hotel also brought the downfall of the park since people began feeling uncomfortable being next to a haunted hotel. The once beautiful playground is now filled with old and rusty games; the fountain which stands in the middle of the park has dirty water and even dirtier statues surrounding it. The trees, thick and large absorb everything man made, and the weeds and flowers run wildly through the old and abandoned kiosk. Definitely not a romantic place to visit, yet a lot of students find the park a fascinating place to be at.

| DIGITAL BOUNCE
For the young at heart who don't want to spend their weekend at a club or in the academy, the arcade is the perfect place. Submersed in darkness, the first floor contains all the classic arcade games, plus a glow in the dark air hockey table. In the basement level floor there's glow in the dark bowling and a snack bar filled with every type of junk food imaginable and some delicious milkshakes. The price is not too bad, but stay for more than an hour and you'll end up with empty pockets.

| CROOKED SPOONS RESTAURANT
A diner that is open 24/7 they serve breakfast, lunch and dinner all the time. It has a very fifties feel to it, from the decorations of the restaurant to the uniform worn by the waiters and waitresses. The price of the food can range from cheap to very expensive and the food they have on the menu also ranges from really healthy to super greasy, but it is guaranteed that everything has a homemade taste to it. The staff is always nice, friendly and efficient.

They also serve pastries, ice cream, milkshakes, hot chocolate and basically any type of food that is sweet. Moreover like any candy shop they also sell memorabilia and other fun souvenirs for anyone who comes to the store.

| NIGHTWISH PLAZA
Located a few miles after the shore, this is where the houses of the locals are located in. In the middle of the plaza there is a giant fountain with life size statues surrounding it, as well as some benches for people to sit down and admire the view. The houses are all very distinct from one another despite that they’re all attach in rows; some of the houses have eccentric colors and some of them have weird decorations or ornaments that stick out. Also in the plaza it is easy to find small shops that sell handmade things such as jewelry or pottery.

if you feel like drinking but don't want to deal with loud music or dancing Neverland is the place for you. A simple bar equipped with the essentials such as a TV, a pool table and a dart board. The weird decor of taxidermy animals on the walls, broken mirrors and badly lit rooms, Neverland is a haunted house meets alice in wonderland. There's weird nonsensical writing all over the mismatched tables and wooden walls. No one knows much about the owner other than his name is Bo and that he is a demon of roughly 800 years if not more. You must be 18 to enter

| COAST
The first thing people see when arriving to the island is of course the coastline. The coast line is filled with rocks and part of a moss and weed covered mountain where one can see the back of the institute. Because of the rocks the coast can’t be used as a beach but some people like coming down here and taking pictures of the beautiful setting. There are no stores or anything man made in this area with the exception of the boats made to transport people from the island to other countries. There is a small road that leads to a bus stop where students and other people get in in order to go to the populated area of the island.
