Anibare Bay

The one proper bay on Nauru: go at first light or late afternoon, swim only at slack tide where locals do, and be out of the sun by 10:30.

Rules in force · 8
  • Oceania ↗Oceania's island states guard their farms and reefs at the border: tick 'yes' on the arrival card for any food, plant, animal product, soil or used outdoor gear, and let the officer decide.
  • Oceania ↗Across the tropical South Pacific, cyclones are possible from November to April: choose insurance that covers weather delays and keep one spare night before a long-haul departure.
  • Micronesia ↗Micronesia runs on a handful of weekly flights, so one cancellation can cost several days: build slack into every connection between islands.
  • Nauru ↗Most visitors need a visa arranged before travel, often with a hotel booking or sponsor: check with the Nauru government or a Nauru mission for your passport, and do not book flights until it is approved.
  • Nauru ↗Do not photograph the regional processing centre or government facilities.
  • Coastal ring (Yaren and Anibare) ↗There are no taxis or apps: your hotel or a hire firm arranges every ride, so book the airport pickup and the return before you fly.
  • Yaren ↗There is no public transport, ride-hailing or metered taxi: the hotel or a hire firm arranges every ride, so agree the airport pickup and the return car before you fly.
  • Yaren ↗Do not photograph the regional processing centre, port or government facilities.
