Byrne Island is a large island located in the Diamond Archipelago. There are three known routes from the island: Alpha Island, Papaya Island, and an inter-archipelago route to Remora Island in the Sapphire Archipelago. There is also an extinct training route encircling the island.

Byrne was home to Sheepish Jimmy, a sheep who at some point went missing, so he has been replaced with Sheepish Jimmy jr, and In Memory of Jerze, a cat placed in memoriam of the pirate Jerze.
