The island is uninhabited, covered with trees and shrubs. As a separate island, Krūmiņsala has existed at least since the mid-17th century.
It is possible to reach the island by means of a boat berth installed in the summer of 2020.[2] Cultural events have been held on the island since 2021 by the organizers of the Sansusī chamber music festival.[3][4]
