Marshall Islands
The Marshall Islands are remote, low-lying coral atolls scattered across a vast stretch of the Pacific, best known to divers for Bikini Atoll's sunken WWII fleet resting in clear water, a haunting and unusual wreck-diving destination. Majuro and the outer atolls move at an unhurried, deeply local pace, with few tourist facilities and travel that takes real planning. Visitors come less for sightseeing than for genuine isolation, lagoon life, and a rare, close-up view of Pacific atoll culture.
