Home  About each Island Suwarrow |
| Suwarrow - |
|
Today a caretaker and his family live on the atoll for most of the year, their solitude disturbed only by the occasional visiting yacht. Suwarrow is now a conservation reserve. This is one of the few atolls in the Northern Group with an accessible lagoon and occasional cruising yachties are amongst the fortunate few to visit its pristine shores. A true atoll, Suwarrow has one of the best harbours in the Pacific. The islets are the original treasure islands with buried chests from Spanish galleons being found there.

Suwarrow was for many years the home of a New Zealand hermit, Tom Neale, who wrote of his life in a book - "An island to oneself". | < Prev | Next > |
