The pirate Black Sam created his pirate base on the island in the 18th century and hid many treasures. These treasures were discovered in 1984. The Venezuelan government will start using these treasures to build national tourism facilities in June 2007.

This island has the second largest coral reef group in the world, making the island a base for hundreds of pirate gangs in the 17th century, including the very famous Captain Morgan and Laurens de Graff in history. Here, pirates attacked Spanish merchant ships and obtained a lot of porcelain from Asia and silverware from Peru.
