Island beaches
This collection gathers beaches in countries made up entirely of islands, such as Fiji, Japan, Iceland and Indonesia, beaches in named island groups such as Hawaii, the Balearics, the Canaries or Zanzibar, beaches with an island field filled in, or beaches whose name contains an island word. 3,209 beaches meet the rule, making this one of the site's largest collections.
