The Isles of Scilly's only public swimming pool is located here; it is covered.[2] The settlement is otherwise largely residential, with houses and apartments lived in by permanent residents of the island.

Close by is the island's main desalination works,[3] which draws water in from the sea and purifies it for the public fresh water system.
