From Wikipedia

Flying Fish Cove (Chinese: 飞鱼湾, Malay: Pantai Ikan Terbang) is the capital city and main settlement of Christmas Island. Although it was originally named after the British survey-ship Flying Fish, many maps simply label it "The Settlement". It was the first British settlement on the island, established in 1888. About a third of the territory's total population of 1,600 lives in Flying Fish Cove, which lies near the north-eastern tip of the island. There is a small harbour which serves tourists with yachts. It is possible to carry out recreational diving at the settlement's beach. The settlement contains three villages apart from itself – Drumsite, Silver City, and Poon Saan, which are commonly listed as separate locations.
