Wake Island
Wake Island, an unincorporated
U.S. territory, is a secluded coral atoll nestled in the central Pacific Ocean.
Composed of three low-lying islets - Wilkes, Peale, and Wake - it rises a mere
21 feet above sea level. Linked by causeways, the atoll lies within the Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument. With a rich history tied to World War II, Wake
Island offers a unique blend of natural beauty and historical significance.
Beyond its historical importance, Wake
Island is a paradise for nature enthusiasts. Pristine beaches, crystal-clear
waters, and diverse marine life create an idyllic setting for water sports and
exploration. Discover remnants of World War II, including igloo bunkers and
Japanese structures, offering a glimpse into the island's past.
While Wake Island offers a serene
escape, its remote location limits nightlife options. Primarily a military
base, the island's focus is on providing essential services and maintaining its
strategic importance in the North Pacific.
