The Sir Joseph Banks Group is renowned for its pristine environment, excellent fishing opportunities, and various outdoor leisure activities. The island also features a well-known right-hand surf break, celebrated for its world-class reputation. Currently, there are approximately 12 established dwellings on different lots.
