Underground Cave/Fort[]
The underground cave was used as a smuggling route prior to 2007, although it's never revealed what the smuggling was of, exactly. The cave can be accessed through a small opening and crawl through a crevice.
Lighthouse[]
The lighthouse is located across a wooden bridge from the land the Spanish colonial fort is located at. Inside, located at the base, is a radio set up for communications with nearby ships that the People's Voice members had set up to route their ships and other vessels nearby.
