How about the middle of the bottom looking like a sandy beach with a X at some point on it. Paint the remaining part of the bottom to look like water, and the sides look like the sky with a painted ship in the distance. Have a treasure chest on the X located on the beach. Pirates surrounding treasure chest on the island.

The Treasure Island in the San Francisco Bay is a man-made Island that attaches to a natural Island called Yurba Buena.
Your shoebox project could be a model of the island reflecting it's past as an airport.
It was where the sea planes docked - the famous Yankee Clippers.
It was the airport that served the city of San Francisco until the Bay Bridge was built and planes could no longer land safely on the runways. The airport was moved south to the current location of the San Francisco International Airport near San Mateo.
The old terminal building on the Island is now a museum.
Some other history of Treasure Island includes it's use in WWII as the embarkation port for soldiers going to the Pacific War. A famous hotel, the Mark Hopkins, had a bar on the top floor (Top of the Mark), where many a sweetheart bid farewell to her soldier man going off to risk his life in the fighting. Treasure Island is clearly visible from the windows of the bar.
Enjoy your project!

With the Johnny Depp Priate movie toys, you could use some action figures or accessories on the market now...in you local Wal-Mart! Good luck with your diorama! I love making those. If your ideas expand...get a box for men's boots!
