The main settlement, simply called The Settlement, is lined with a small supermarket and several restaurants and backs onto the primary beach at Flying Fish Cove; nearby Silver City, developed in the 1970s, features aluminium‑clad, cyclone‑proof houses that dot the streetscape amid steep coastal cliffs.

Transport links centre on the container port at Flying Fish Cove (with a secondary off‑load point at Norris Point), while air connections are provided by QantasLink flights from Perth on three days a week and a fortnightly freight service; the island’s roads vary in condition and many tracks require four‑wheel‑drive vehicles, with rental cars available at the airport.
