}}Coney Island is a small seaside hamlet and townland of 48 acres in County Down, Northern Ireland, between the villages of Ardglass and Killough. It is situated in the civil parish of Ardglass and the historic barony of Lecale Lower.[1] There is a small caravan park at Coney Island.[2]

It is not actually an island but includes a narrow peninsula which may at one time have been cut off by the sea. The name of the townland is recorded as Conningsiland in 1635, as Cony Is in 1640 and as Conny-Island in 1669. Coney or Cony is a medieval English word meaning rabbit.[3]

Transport

Coney Island railway station opened in July 1892 and was closed in January 1950.[4]
