Walung
A traditional village on the southwest coast with no road access, where white beaches, coconut groves and shallow reef flats remain unspoiled
Walung lies on Kosrae's southwest coast and is the only village on the island not connected by road. You can reach it only by boat, or on foot along the coast at low tide. The village keeps its traditional way of life. The beach is quiet, and the shallow reef flats are good for snorkeling. It's often combined with a kayak trip through mangrove channels. The village has no shops, so bring your own drinking water and lunch, and respect villagers' privacy.
Opening hours
Daytime; boat must be booked in advance
