smallest island?

Yeahbut®, my little barrier island of the Wildwoods on the utter tip of South Jersey is about 7 miles long and maybe a mile at its widest (averaging about 1/4 to 1/2 mile in width...I'm trying to find the exact specifications). And it used to be called Five Mile Beach before they filled in Turtle Gut Inlet at the southern end, connecting the island with Two Mile Beach at the turn of the 20th century (for real estate development, what else?). Some folks who feel high-and-dry today actually have houses sitting on an old inlet and could have a real surpise coming, because major storms have a penchant for reopening old inlets or cutting new ones (like what happened in Ocean City, Maryland, in the 70's...a hurricane ripped a whole new inlet through the barrier island there, just south of the boardwalk and all the real estate...they were lucky).
