A smallish island, off the shipping lanes. It is completely uninhabited, and hence devoid of Story, until the protagonists arrive. These islands come in several main varieties. "Far Side" Island: A circular island approximately ten feet in diameter, with a single palm tree situated near the center — the stock setting for many cartoons, with many comedic uses (including Meat-O-Vision). As this is a subtrope, examples of it go on its own page. Castaway Island: A larger island with enough flora and fauna for Robinson Crusoe and his marooned imitators to figure out a way to find food and make clothes. Treasure Island: The favourite spot for Pirates to bury their treasure, usually found by means of following a hidden map. Yarrr! Monster Island: The abode of hungry monsters. If it's a Lost World, the heroes might escape with a dinosaur to show off (if it doesn't eat them); if it's covered in Eldritch Ruins, they'll be lucky to escape with their sanity intact.note Also, despite the name, it's actually a peninsula. Island of Mystery: An island containing monsters, mad scientists, castaways, ancient temples, ruins and other mysterious phenomena. The typical Deserted Island is full of Jungle Japes, involving bamboo devices, coconuts and parrots. Often found on The Spanish Main, spectacularly uncharted as it is. In past centuries such islands could be found in every ocean, but these days it takes loads of Phlebotinum to keep them hidden. Note, however, that even though in this day and age about any island you can set foot upon was probably already visited by a human being, that doesn't mean you'll find any signs of human presence left on it. There are absolutely tons of islands that hardly ever see anybody visit them for a variety of reasons: maybe they're just too far away from the nearest inhabited place, maybe there's just nothing interesting on them to find. In fact, the very name "deserted" implies that somebody must have been there to desert it in the first place. At any rate, while your chances of finding yourself on one of them are minuscule compared to, say, the 18th century sailors, it's still possible and does happen every once in a while. In Science Fiction, a deserted moon or planet makes an acceptable substitute. Leaving these closed circles is often made difficult. Grammatical note: these are more classically referred to as desert islands (see definition 2). This does not, in fact, imply that they are dry places, although the misinterpretation means they are sometimes depicted as such. |

Harvest Moon: Island of Happiness has your character stranded there with a few other survivors. In a bit of a subversion, other ships DO find them, and there are, in fact, at least two other people already living on the island. The main point of the game is to fix the island up so that it can become populated. | |

Subnautica: The predicament the player character finds themselves in at the start of the game, sitting in a small Escape Pod floating in the ocean on an alien planet, is pretty much a sci-fi spin on the "Far Side" Island variant. There's a more literal example that you find and journey to later on. | |

Ibn Tufail's Arabic novel Hayy ibn Yaqzan (also known as Philosophus Autodidactus) from the 12th century is possibly the Ur-Example, about a boy abandoned on a deserted island and raised by an animal. A spiritual successor was Ibn al-Nafis' Arabic novel Theologus Autodidactus from the 13th century. |

Crops up in Bleak Expectations as one of many tropes it parodies when Pip Bin washes up on one. He starts to Go Mad from the Isolation after a few days until he finds a "primitive" humannote who turns out to be his best friend in need of a bath who saves him from starving by revealing it is a dessert island and the beach is made of apple crumble. There it veers into Robinsonade until the Big Bad, Gently Benevolent, turns up with an army of dinosaurs and calls it a Lost World. | |

The Simpsons has the episode of Das Bus, which has Bart, Lisa, Milhouse, Nelson, Martin and others stranded on a deserted island. It's a takeoff on Lord of the Flies, of course. Parodied with the episode of Lisa On Ice, where Lisa imagines being sentenced to "Monster Island" for having failed gym class in the second grade. Luckily, Monster Island is a Non-Indicative Name. It's really a peninsula. |

MythBusters had an episode ("Duct Tape Island") which used this plot as a setting to test various survival methods using Duct Tape for Everything. (The episode itself had several obvious signs that the island was far from deserted; these were lampshaded by the hosts. As they admitted in their Aftershow—and as could be deduced by depictions of the island in their animated 'blueprint drawings'—the actual setting was a beach on the island of Oahu, the most populated island in the Hawaiian chain. They also admitted that most of their nights, they'd slept in a hotel. The builds themselves were all real, though.) | |

The protagonist in Castaway on the Moon winds up on an unusual example. It's deserted all right, and it is an island — but it's right in the middle of Seoul, under a bridge spanning the Han River. The protagonist winds up getting stuck there for months, because after all, who's looking for people on an island under a bridge? (See Concrete Island, in Literature, for a grittier take on this.) | |

Higgins' first survival step is to weave a sun-hat out of palm fronds. He also has some clever ideas for how to leave the island if TC can't fix the radio. Meanwhile Rick is convinced he's going to die in quicksand and imagines his own funeral, and Tom is determined to play Santa for his friends no matter what. | |

Scott ended up on one after getting into a freak train crash, with barely any supplies with him, and then the first thing he does is thinking about ordering some games to play, and then passing out from heatstroke. His inner monologue then proceeds to talk about games he'd play if he was stranded on a deserted island. | |

Henry De Vere Stacpoole's original novel The Blue Lagoon, also the novella Primordial/Three Laws & the Golden Rule that inspired it, were just two of a type of story popular in Victorian times: "strand innocent toddlers on a Crusoe-type Deserted Island and see how they live, with plenty of resources but without parents or culture". Tarzan and The Jungle Book are probably the two best known versions of this. | |

In Smallville's Season 3 premier, Lex Luthor has been trapped on a remote Caribbean for nearly three months, following his private jet crashing on the way to his honeymoon. He's originally under the impression that he is sharing the island with another castaway, Lewis, who is quickly becoming malevolent. However, the climax reveals Lewis is actually his Imaginary Friend, and the trauma of the whole ordeal has done a number on Lex's sanity. | |

General Hospital. In the summer of 1992, teens Jason and Karen went out for a boat ride (with Jagger, Jason's rival for Karen's affections, stowing away below deck), got caught in a storm, and ended up on one of these (implausibly in the middle of either Lake Erie or Lake Ontario, given GH's upstate New York setting). | |

Rome. In "Pharsalus", Lucius Vorenus and Titus Pullo survive the sinking of an entire fleet and struggle ashore, only for a Reveal Shot to show they've actually washed up in a tiny island with no food, water or shelter. However as they wait to die, Vorenus notices that the corpses of the other victims have become bloated from the gasses of decomposition and so float easily, so they use them to construct an improvised raft that carries them to the mainland. | |

There is one other human that they meet, a boy who has been living there for three years.

The pair argue whether there is an actual line around the equator or not, so they go to check in the hover car... cue falling off of it and ending up on a deserted island and growing closer to each other. By the end of the episode Cindy didn't even want to leave the island and suggested she and Jimmy stay there forever. | |

Island of Mystery in Tintin: The Black Island, which is the location of the long-abandoned ruins of the castle of Benmoor, rumored to be the home of a supernatural monster that devours anyone who sets foot on the island. It's actually a "Scooby-Doo" Hoax perpetrated by the evil Dr. Mueller, to hide his counterfeiting scheme. |

Parodied in Adventurers!; after Khrima accidentally shatters the Crystal of the Kildracks, Ardam and Karn end up on one of these. Ardam mentions that he'd often thought about being on a deserted island, but he always hoped it would be one without Karn. He also makes a fishing rod to give Karn something to do, but Karn sees it as a minigame and nearly covers the island in fish. But soon enough it turns out it wasn't an island, just a movie set of an island, but the movie set part was Behind the Black, which just ticks Ardam off. | |

Sirena: The titular mermaid originally lives with nine of her sisters near Anthemöessa, a small, rocky island with no plant life besides lilies and no inhabitants besides the three vultures who are the mermaids' guardian birds. The mermaids use their enchanted voices to sink two ships, planning to seduce the men but instead committing Accidental Murder, as most of the men can't swim and the survivors die of thirst on the barren island. To avoid killing any other men, Sirena travels to the waters near Lemnos, a much larger island that was once inhabited but is now deserted. It has a freshwater stream and enough plant and animal life to keep Philoctetes alive after the other soldiers abandon him there, but it's far enough out of the way that ten years pass before Philoctetes and Sirena see another ship. |

Burroughs reused the trick with Ras Thavas, who lives on a solid patch of land in the Great Toolnolian Swamp in the John Carter of Mars novels The Master Mind of Mars and Synthetic Men of Mars. Guess what he's doing in the latter (or, more accurately, just before the latter actually starts). | |

In The Midnight Folk, Kay's sea-captain grandfather was hired to transport a great treasure, then lost it when his crew mutinied, stole the ship and treasure, and stranded him on a deserted island. While tracing the subsequent history of the treasure, Kay learns that shortly afterward the crew mutinied again and stranded the ring-leader of the first mutiny on another, even more bleak and inhospitable, island. | |

Pokémon Reset Bloodlines's sidestory Laramie Gaiden takes place in one. It's of the Castaway Island variety, and it follows Leeroy Laramie (grandfather of Lara Laramie) as he tries to survive along with a Pokémon Ranger named Jenkins Jackrum (they were the only survivors of their respective battleships, which shortly before getting stranded had been engaged in combat in open sea). | |

This is where the characters of Let's Lagoon end up though it's not so much spatially as temporally displaced from the main ship routes. | |

Dr. Franklin's Island appears to be this when the protagonists get to shore. They call each other "prisoners in paradise" and struggle to survive. As the title suggests, though, it does belong to someone, who waits until people stop looking for them. | |

My Dream Is Yours: Oona, who is sick with Dream-Transfer-itis and suffering from Sleep Deprivation like the other victims, has the recurring dream of her being on a deserted island, with nothing but a smoothie, a lawn chair, and some soft music playing somewhere in the distance. To her, it's a nightmare because she can't take a Busman's Holiday on a deserted island with no gadgets to repair or build, and when Olympia states otherwise she goes off on her. | |

An episode of Family Guy has Peter, Joe, Cleveland, and Quagmire become stranded on a lone island after being shipwrecked, causing their friends and family back home to believe they had died in the storm. The guys pass the time by playing the "who would you rather do" game and at one point, try to start an orgy to satisfy their sexual urges. Naturally, a cruise liner passes by when this happens and everyone stops to take a look as if it was part of the tour. | |
