No it's not Hawaii or the Azores. It's a well populated place, and not that it's any help but I've been there on my honeymoon

This island is accessible only by boat and air. It was home to one of its countries earliest deaf communities and a special form of sign language developed on the island.
A very well known 1970's film was filmed here with lots of the islanders being used as extras.
