When you talk about beach combing and beach finds etc islands are great. They are isolated and usually have really unusual finds or isolated beaches with amazing amounts of shells on the beach.
We live on an island and access to beaches is so easy, if the weather is good enough...
There are about 7 awesome beaches within a short drive.
On the mainland there are many who only get to the beach or sea once a year on summer holidays. When there are so many tourists on the beach its difficult to find anything as someone has usually got to it before you or trampled on it.
Low tide and high tide are important as they both bring their benefits.
Another thing that seems to come with islands though is ghosts. Scary!!!!! The island we live on has more than its fair share of ghosts and hauntings and it seems its not alone! many stories here and actual sightings and sometimes its just plain unpleasant! Other places seem to be worse,....or more publicised. Not that you would find a ghost on the beach, well at least not in daylight but night-time is another story!
Look at these (and they don't even include the Isle of Wight - which is also called Ghost Island)
The 5 scariest islands on earth
Extract: The idea of a remote island often brings up images of palm trees, coronas, and relaxation. Paradoxically, an island can also be terrifying. You are surrounded by water on all sides and can feel cut off from modern society. Sometimes things so terrifying can occur on remote islands that it seems the energy of these events linger and transform these island paradises to island horrors.

The Islands of Hawaii
