On this note, let’s have a look at five of the smallest islands in the world, each with its own distinctive beauty.

2. Simping Island, Indonesia

Next on the list is Simping Island in Indonesia’s East Nusa Tenggara province. This pretty tiny island in the Flores Sea is also famous for its limited land area.

4. Little St. Simons Island, Georgia

On number fourth spot is the Little St. Simons Island. Situated off the coast of Georgia, USA, the island is quite small with 2700 acres.
