SKULL ISLAND is the name of many islands used in various works of fiction, first appearing in the 1933 film King Kong.
In King Kong, Skull Island is a long island, located at approximately 90 degrees East and 2 degrees South - somewhere off the coast of Sumatra. There is a distinctive rocky knoll in the center of the island which is shaped like a human skull, hence its forboding name.
At first, it is thought of as deserted, but upon further examination by the heroes of the picture, it is filled to the brim with superstitious natives, prehistoric creatures of all sorts, and one extremely large gorilla, known by those on the island as "Kong".
The native people of Skull Island appear to be of West African (or perhaps Papuan) descent. Their barbaric portrayal in the film has provoked complaints and controversy ever since the movie's release. In the sequel film, Son of Kong, we last see Skull Island as it sinks into the sea. Kong's son drowns while holding Carl Denham above the water. Denham survives unscathed.
A 2004 sequel-novel which ignores The Son Of Kong, makes an attempt to reveal the history of Skull Island before the events of the 1933 film's story.-

Yes Skull Island was discovered by the parrot Red Beard. He was a sea faring Lad who had his right leg chopped off in one scrimmage with a British merchant ship. in 1763. Then he had his right eye punched out. Fighting the natives off Skull Island He buried his treasure on skull island and made all the witness walk the plank. When he had no crew left to sail his ship he died of starvation drifting on the Marne. Now no one knows where the location of his treasure is or the location of Skull Island Only that it is somewhere in the Caribbean.

It's a fiction. An imaginary Island portrayed only in films, there no such real Island.
