St Francis Island lies 27km south of Rocky Point, and has a granite base usually covered by a thick bed of calcarenite. The island reaches an 81m summit on the south-eastern coast, topped by an automatic lighthouse and radio beacon. Being such a large island, it was used as early as 1859 for agriculture, and for some time guano was mined from the island as well.
