Answer:
Is the island a place like yours? How is it different?
My family is from an island, has a vacation home on an island, and most of my family members, including myself, continue to live on various islands primarily on the East Coast. Island life boils down to a love of boating, fishing, and other water sports and activities. There is always something to do on the water, if the weather cooperates, and a water view provides a front row seat to an ever changing nature show.
Sometimes the weather/nature show can be harsh. Coastal flooding, storms, and hurricanes are a constant, albeit mostly seasonal, risk. I’ve cleaned up after two floods and four hurricanes and find it is still a good trade for the benefits of island living. The key is good insurance and get off the island for large weather events, which can typically be foretasted days ahead. Note, bridges are often shut down during storms so always have an exit plan.
The other side of island life is community. Islanders tend to behave much like your average small town. Sometimes, what happens on the island stays on the island, but generally everyone knows your business and it’s tough to hide or keep secrets. The larger the island the less this is true, but I personally have told my kids when they are shocked that I know something they did, “remember we live on an island!.” So, it can be a great environment for raising kids. In fact, my kids often kayaked versus biked to friend’s homes.

My family is from an island, we have a holiday home on an island, and the majority of my relatives, including myself, continue to live on various islands, mostly on the East Coast. Boating, fishing, and other water sports and activities are central to island life. If the weather permits, there is always something to do on the water, and a water view offers a front-row seat to an ever-changing natural display.
The weather/nature show might be unpleasant at times. Coastal flooding, storms, and hurricanes are a year-round threat, albeit they are largely seasonal. I've cleaned up after two floods and four hurricanes, and I still think it's a good deal for the advantages of living on an island. The trick is to have adequate insurance and to leave the island for major weather disasters, which can usually be predicted days in advance. Keep in mind that bridges are frequently closed during storms, so always have a backup plan.
Community is the other side of island life. The behaviour of islanders is similar to that of a small town. What occurs on the island sometimes stays on the island, but in general, everyone knows what you're up to, and keeping secrets is difficult. The larger the island, the less true this is, although I've told my kids, "remember we live on an island!" when they're surprised that I know something they didn't. As a result, it can be an excellent environment in which to raise children. In fact, my kids preferred kayaking over biking to their friends' houses.
