Constantine Island is a small, uninhabited island located off the coast of Cornwall, England. It is situated in the Atlantic Ocean, approximately 1.5 miles southwest of the town of Padstow. The island is known for its rugged coastline, sandy beaches, and diverse wildlife.

Constantine Island covers an area of approximately 25 acres and is surrounded by clear blue waters, making it a popular destination for boating, fishing, and birdwatching. The island is home to a variety of seabirds, including puffins, razorbills, and guillemots, as well as seals and dolphins that can be spotted in the surrounding waters.

Access to Constantine Island is restricted, as it is a designated nature reserve and protected area. Visitors can only reach the island by boat, and there are no facilities or amenities available on the island itself. Despite its remote location, Constantine Island is a peaceful and picturesque retreat for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of mainland Cornwall.
