Are Kiawah Island, SC, and Long Island, NY, the only two East Coast island that run East to West? Any others?

I'm looking to verify whether other islands are geographically situated like this, or whether all others run North to South.Are Kiawah Island, SC, and Long Island, NY, the only two East Coast island that run East to West? Any others?
There are numerous islands that have east/west dimension longer than their north/south dimension, far too many to name. You didn't clarify any lower size limit to your question....but there are thousands of islands up and down the east coast of almost every geographic configuration you could think of. Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket Island would be two of the larger ones that are generally east/west in shape. Some of the barrier islands of North Carolina (Cape Lookout Seashore) are also east/west.
fire island is outside long island, and runs parallel to it.Are Kiawah Island, SC, and Long Island, NY, the only two East Coast island that run East to West? Any others?
There are some islands in the extreme southern Outer Banks, near Cape Lookout that run east - west. Also some of the Florida Keys run more east - west than they do North - South.
