Oceania is merely a region in the Pacific Ocean that contains many island countries and one island continent. They all have coastlines, that's what makes them islands!
It has many Islands but there are eight major islands.
Oceania consist of many islands, some independent countries, some colonies and others existing as protectorates. Here are a few: French Polynesia, Samoa, Tonga, Guam, Marshall Islands, Fiji, Solomon Islands, Papua New Guinea, New Caledonia, East Timor, New Zealand and American Samoa.
What makes Oceania unusual is probably the fact that it is not a standard continent at all. It is not a solid landmass, and in that sense is not truly a continent. Oceania comprises a huge region of the Pacific encompassing just one continent - Australia - many large islands such as New zealand and Papua New Guinea and many smaller islands and territories of French Polynesia, Micronesia and Melanesia.
The only country in Australia is Australia, and it is made up of a continent of Australia and the island of Tasmania. About 2000km southeast of Australia is New Zealand, a country made up of two main islands and many smaller islands. Like Australia, it is within the geographic region of Oceania. There is a common misconception that Australia is the same as Oceania. It is not. Australia is a continent and a country. It is within the region of Oceania, which is not a continent.
Islands are in many places in the world. Most are found in the Bahamas and in the region of Oceania but to find the Closest one it will have to depend on where you live.
