yes, Coney Island (which is no longer an island, but has been connected to Long Island) was named because it was filled with rabbits.

it has come up before.. (a thread about geography-) Coney Island used to be a barrier island (like the one WO'N lives on) but over time, the back bay has been filled in nad now its its connected. there are barrier islands starting in georgia, and you can boat between georia and Mass., with about 10 mile of the trip being in the open ocean. it called and inland waterway.

there are some bad spots, (cape fear, and hell gate come to mind) but for the most part, its a tranquile way to travel.
