La mayoría de la isla Plum (parte sur) se constituyó en el Parker River National Wildlife Refuge, refugio natural de muchas especies y hoy en día zona protegida. Sin embargo, la zona norte de la isla está densamente poblada con residentes temporales y permanentes. La arquitectura se observa como una mezcla heterogénea de antiguas casas de campo, cómodas casas de madera (saltboxes), edificios residenciales y casas en plena línea de costa. Prácticamente casi toda la línea de costa es una atractiva playa pública, a pesar de que la mayor parte de ella sólo accesible a pie a través de caminos entre las dunas. En conjunto, la isla resulta un lugar atractivo para el turismo, la ornitología o simplemente para tomarse un descanso. (es)
