There’s a lot of intrigues and mystery surrounding Figure Eight Island, not because it is spooky but because of how private and secluded it is. The island itself is privately owned by the homeowners of the community it’s in and has been rumored to be the haven and the perfect escape for celebrities, high-profile CEOs, and the like. Visitors can rent one of the many beautiful vacation homes in the area to access the relaxing5-mile long, 1,300-acre island. Once on the island, guests can enjoy a range of leisure activities such as shelling, fishing, swimming, and surfing, as well as kayaking and boating. Additionally, land activities can also be enjoyed such as bird watching and biking.
