Some sources say Goat Island is the former home and retreat of Ian Fleming, the author and creator of the James Bond series.

[1][2] An article which appeared in Canada's National Post disputed these claims.

The James Bond novels were all written at Fleming's house, Goldeneye, in Jamaica."

The same article reports that Fleming conceived of Crab Key, the island lair of the mad scientist Dr. Julius No, during a 1956 trip to a flamingo sanctuary in Inagua.

[3] At least four species of lizards have been recorded on the island; namely Green iguanas, Grenada tree anoles, Rainbow whiptails and Turnip-tailed geckos.
