A tropical island is a landmass located in warm ocean waters, typically characterized by lush vegetation, sandy beaches, and a diverse range of wildlife. These islands often have a climate that supports palm trees, colorful flowers, and various fruit-bearing plants. Popular examples of tropical islands include Hawaii, Bali, and the Maldives. Tropical islands are often formed through volcanic activity or coral reef development. They are popular tourist destinations, attracting visitors with their natural beauty, recreational activities like snorkeling and surfing, and unique cultures. Many tropical islands also support local economies through agriculture and fishing.
