Kind of. "Shore pirates" -- wreckers were people who would put up false beacon lights so that ships would crash on the rocks and be looted.

This is making me think of Jurmo
It's a harsh stony island on the outer edge of the finnish archipelago, with a history of pirate residents.
Did Tove base this plotline on it? In that the island is desert, not deserted.

Traditionally, desert island does mean one that's deserted.

It seems like "false beacon" is a phrase that hasn't had much use these past few decades. I guess everyone just uses GPS now rather than relying on lighthouses and such.
