Cannibals!?
Yes, Cannibal Island is a real place. Located on the coast of Northern California, Cannibal Island is a small land area that is separated from the mainland by a small slough (tidal river). The name came about in the 1800s when it was populated mostly by Irish immigrant farmers who apparently were very rowdy at times. The people on the mainland thought that they acted like a bunch of savages, and gave the place its nickname. Cannibal Island is located just west of the town of Loleta (near Eureka & Arcata).
