Gunners Coin; not clearly distinguishable whether this most prominent of all islands has got its name from the block underneath ships cannons which seems to have resembled it in shape or the gunner battery stationed there by both the French and English (its French name is Coin de Mire) this bare rock cliff with a prominent hole inside that rises so abruptly out of the ocean is a majestic landmark. Tropical birds can be seen flying in and out of their nests located in crevices on is rocky surface as one passes it on the way to Flat or Gabriel Island. All in all, the island with its rounded back side is shaped more like a whale when spotted from a certain angle and inaccessible by catamaran. There are several beautiful dive sites located around it and whales can be spotted near it during their migratory season.
