Whenever an adventure far from civilization is needed, a tropical island is where it usually will be set. Typically located in the Caribbean, Oceania, the Indian Ocean or created after a GreatFlood, tropical islands are a very popular location for adventures due to their exotic environment and wildlife, remoteness and disconnection from the rest of the world, allowing for more fantastic elements than would be seen in a more civilized setting, and being popular places for vacations, due to their usually sunny weather, warm climate and pristine beaches.
