海峡岛于 1884 年 8 月被布政司宣布为检疫站，当时所有船只都必须在达尔文港抛锚前进行清关。
它在 1885 年用于麻风病患者，从 1887 年开始用于天花患者。直到 1914 年 9 月，海峡岛成为所有需要隔离的疾病病例的四个“急救”或小型站之一，才建立永久性结构。 1930 年，在东臂开设了一个新的检疫站，海峡岛被改建为麻风病院。麻风病院在文化上具有重要意义，因为它提供了一个独特的视角，可以看到一群被迫孤立的人，他们生活在极端的身体条件下，在某些情况下，还存在精神条件下。它展示了强制隔离病人的官方政策。在世界其他地区正在修改其强制隔离法的时候，这些废墟是该时期隔离要求的证据，包括隔离。海峡岛礁因其多样化的珊瑚而具有重要意义。
