What are neighbouring islands?

Neighbouring islands are islands that are located close to each other. They may be part of the same island group or archipelago, or they may be located near each other geographically. Some examples of neighbouring islands include:

The British Isles, which include Great Britain, Ireland, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, and the Hebrides.

The Canary Islands, which are located off the coast of Morocco.

The Caribbean islands, which are located in the Caribbean Sea.

The Galápagos Islands, which are located off the coast of Ecuador.

The Hawaiian Islands, which are located in the Pacific Ocean.

The Indonesian islands, which make up the Indonesian archipelago.

The Japanese islands, which make up the Japanese archipelago.

The Philippine islands, which make up the Philippine archipelago.

Neighbouring islands can be connected to each other by land bridges, or they may be separated by water. They may have similar cultures and histories, or they may be quite different. Some neighbouring islands are major tourist destinations, while others are relatively unknown.
