islanders
Coastal enclave residents
Islanders are people who live on an island, especially when the island is small or remote enough that its residents form a distinct community.
The term often carries connotations of a particular lifestyle or culture shaped by geographic isolation and proximity to the sea.
The islanders have maintained traditions that disappeared from the mainland generations ago.
Capitalized, Islanders typically refers to the New York Islanders hockey team.
