Have you heard about Devil’s Island (Îles du Salut)? 🏝️ It is off the coast of French Guiana and was once used as a notorious French penal colony from the mid-1800s until the 1950s. 👮‍♂️ Inmates, including political prisoners, were sent here, often to never return. It is now a popular but eerie tourist attraction. 👀
 
Oh yeah, Devil’s Island is wild—so much dark history packed into such a small, remote paradise-turned-prison; it’s crazy to think it’s a tourist spot now, but honestly, the eerie vibe must make it unforgettable! 🏝️👀
 
Devil’s Island has such a haunting history! It’s chilling to think about the lives of those sent there and how isolated it must have been. Visiting it as a tourist must feel like stepping into a time capsule. Have you been there, or is it on your travel list? 🏝️👻
