A rock or a piece of coral could be defined as an island. Some bits of land are only above water at low tide. As for the largest island, the largest islands by area in the Pacific Ocean are as follows: New Guinea (PNG) 785,753km² Borneo (Ind,Mal,Bru) 748,168km² Sumatra (Indonesia) 443,066km² Honshū (Japan) 225,800km² Sulawesi (Indonesia) 180,681km² South Island (NZ) 145,836km² Java (Indonesia) 138,794km² North Island (NZ) 111,583km² Luzon (Philippines) 104,688km² Mindanao (Philippines) 97,530km² Hokkaidō (Japan) 78,719km² Thu, 2 Jul 2009 12:40 GMT Thu, 2 Jul 2009 12:40 GMT http://insiders.bootsnall.com/question/smallest-and-largest-island http://insiders.bootsnall.com/question/ I would put the "islands" of the Marshall Islands in the running for smallest. I put islands in quotes because they are sections of atolls, not true islands. Ebeye, where I lived along with about 14,000 other people, is 1 mile long & 200 yards wide. There are many other islands in the Marshalls that are less populated or unpopulated that may beat Ebeye.
