\n<\/section>\n

\nThe Great Barrier Reef (Australia) is the world’s largest coral reef system, containing numerous coral cays and islands. Rainbow Reef (Fiji) is a famous barrier reef system with associated islands. Swaraj Island (Havelock Island) in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands is known for its beautiful beaches and surrounding coral reefs, but the island itself is not solely a coral formation; it is part of a volcanic arc. Kyushu, however, is a large, geologically diverse continental island.
