yes, you could either draw a second way on top (with Josm you’d only have to draw 2 points and with F (follow) you could do it in seconds), although the result IMHO is harder to edit and the overlap is harder to notice/may pass unnoticed. Or you could create a multipolygon relation for the island by adding the coastline as outer way - if you’d have to split the coastline for other reasons this would still perfectly work without further work in common editors  (splitting of MP members is typically handled automatically by editing software with regard to the relation)
