Ireland Island South is a small island in the extreme northwest of the Atlantic archipelago of Bermuda . It is only separated from its northern sister island Ireland Island North by a 10 meter wide river, which is why both islands occasionally bear the common name Ireland Island .

The connection to the North Island is via a small bascule bridge ( The Cut Bridge ). A 170 meter long bridge connects Ireland Island South with the south-west bordering Boaz Island .

In contrast to the North Island , the South Island is hardly built on. Worth mentioning are the lagoon in the south of the island and a historic cemetery for military personnel from the Royal Navy .

The island is part of the Bermuda administrative area of Sandys Parish .
