Free Island Pictures: 43 Photos of Tropical and Mediterranean Islands
43 free island pictures from the BigFoto library, all real photos from our own travels: jungle-covered limestone islands rising from turquoise water in the Andaman Sea, sandy island beaches with long-tail boats, the white stone islands of the Kornati archipelago in Croatia, small islets with lighthouses, and islands in Mallorca, Hong Kong, Mauritius, Canada, California and Australia. Many have open sea and sky around the island, so they work as an island background for text, slides or a phone wallpaper.
