List of islands of South Africa
List of Islands of South Africa, An island (Template:Pron-en) or isle (/ˈaɪl/) is any piece of land that is surrounded by water. Very small islands such as emergent land features on atolls are called islets. A key or cay is another name for a small island or islet. An island in a river or lake may be called an eyot, /ˈaɪ.ət/. There is no standard of size which distinguishes islands from islets and continents.
When defining islands as pieces of land that are surrounded by water, narrow bodies of water like rivers and canals are often, but not always, left out of consideration. This is an attempt to list all islands of South Africa, regardless whether they are located in the Oceans around us, in our rivers, in our lake, or in our reservoirs (or dams, as we call it in South Africa).
This list is incomplete; you can help by expanding it.
