Péage Island is a small rocky island 0.93 kilometres (0.5 nmi) southwest of Cape Découverte. Charted in 1951 by the French Antarctic Expedition and named by them for its position, which seems to command access to the Curzon Islands for parties arriving from Port Martin, péage being French for toll booth.
