7 of the Smallest Islands in the World You Can Visit

"Often noted as the world’s smallest island with a building, this rocky outcrop off the southwestern U.K. coast is roughly 150 feet long and 50 meters wide and is dominated by a massive lighthouse. Visitors can take boat tours to visit the lighthouse and explore the surrounding waters (part of the Isles of Scilly archipelago), where seabirds, dolphins, and seals are commonly spotted." - Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca is an award-winning journalist and co-founder of Be a Travel Writer, an online course for the next generation of travel journalists.
