Cozy Canopy: Natural thicket formed by the roots of trees and shrubs. A cool and shady area to relax, unaffected by the sun’s heat at any time of the day.
Mystery Creek: A crack in the rocks formed by an earthquake several million years ago. It is believed that Lord Narasimha made his way through this long creek leading to a cave near the temple, which is how the temple was named. This is a good place to spot otters, locally called “ Neer Nai”.
Narasimha Temple: A temple dedicated to Lord Narasimha built several years ago on the top of the island. Devotees visit this temple shrine for an annual yatra in January.

Abandoned Tower: Built years ago with the idea of utilizing it as a lighthouse. Another neighbouring island (Devgad Island) deeper into the sea was found more suitable and hence this tower was abandoned. The suitability of this tower to hoist a windmill and generate adequate power for the island’s needs is being considered.
Fort walls & Canons: Many kings of different dynasties, including those of the Vijayanagar Empire, Bijapur and Sonda kings, have ruled this island. In AD 1705, Basalinga Nayak of Sonda fought a battle with the British from this island.
