Some counties are entirely on an island but make up only part of it.
What comes to mind are the New York counties of Kings, Queens, Nassau, and
Suffolk on Long Island.

A technicality ?
Door County IS partly islandic, but the southern boundary is firmly
attached to the northern boundary of Kewaunee county, which requires no
water crossing for access. Sturgeon Bay,being very watery, is in the middle
of the county. It has islands off the northeast end of the peninsula.
Gets crowded, but an excellent vacation site.

Greetings,
To clarify (and hopefully not complicate things too greatly), the City
and County of Honolulu includes the island of O'ahu and also the islets,
atolls and reefs of the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands (with the exception
of Midway Islands). Kaua'i County includes the island of Kaua'i and
Ni'ihau.
As mentioned by John, Maui County consists of several major islands -
three to be exact - Maui, Lana'i and most of Moloka'i. Kalawao County
lies on Moloka'i and is the home of a number of people, some with Hansen's
Disease. As a side note, I believe that the appointed Director of the
State's Department of Health also becomes Mayor of Kalawao County as
part of his duties and responsibilities as Director.
Aloha,
