The geography of the UK coastline consists of a great variety of natural features. These consist of numerous islands, bays, headlands and peninsulas. Of the 1,000+ islands within the UK, only 290 are permanently inhabited. Of the remaining islands, some are used for farming and are occupied occasionally, some are nature reserves with restricted access and some are little more than sea-swept rocks. The main occupied islands and island groups in the UK are as follows.
Anglesey
Canvey Island
Foulness Island
Holy Island
Inner Hebrides
Islands of Furness
Isle of Portland
Isle of Sheppey
Isle of Wight
Isles of Scilly
Lindisfarne
Lundy Island
Orkney Islands
Outer Hebrides
Shetland Islands
(Note that the Channel Islands (including Jersey, Guernsey, Alderney and Sark) and the Isle of Man are not part of the UK. They are self-governing Crown Dependencies. Their coastlines are not coastlines of the United Kingdom.)
