Located 55 kilometres south of Pukapuka, the samll island of Nassau is covered with palms and is the only  island of the group without a lagoon. 

Nassau is a satellite community of Pukapuka with a population of approximately 100 people. The village is located in the north-west. Inland there are rich taro swamps and fruit groves, and of course off shore excellent fishing.

There's no airport, so access is limited to inter-island ships from Rarotonga - a voyage of three days or interisland boat from Pukapuka which takes approximately 2 hours.
