A low-lying island is often referred to as a "barrier island." These islands typically form parallel to a coastline and are separated from the mainland by a lagoon or a bay. They are usually characterized by their sandy beaches and can be vulnerable to erosion and rising sea levels. Another term used for low-lying islands, especially in the context of their vulnerability, is "atoll."
