Reyneke Island has an area of approximately 4.6 square kilometres (1.8 square miles) and a population of 23 (2005), making it the smallest of four inhabited islands of Primorsky Krai both by area and population.

Most residents live in the island's single settlement of the same named located on the northern coast.

Reyneke Island is a summer recreation location for the Primorsky Krai region, and tourism is an important part of the local economy.

The island is popular due to its pebbly and sandy beaches, the deciduous forest (oak, acer and tilia) on the western part of the island, and the meadows on the eastern part.

Reyneke Island is connected to mainland Vladivostok by a ferry, operating three times a week in the warm seasons.
