Travel Guide - Nauru
One of the smallest countries in the world, Nauru consists of one atoll
with a surrounding reef which is exposed at low tide, just 12 miles in circumference
and just over 8 square miles. Most of the 10,000 population live on the
narrow coastal belt.
Lonely
Planet - Nauru
Nauru offers little to the traveller. Despite the colourful reef surrounding
the island, the waters of Nauru are too dangerous for diving. Only one boat
offers sport-fishing IF the owner's on-island and IF there's fuel to run
the boat and IF the swell allows.
