Alofi
Niue's capital and hub of daily life. The seafront has a visitor centre, restaurants, a market and a coastal walk where you can spot whales.
Alofi sits in the middle of the west coast and is Niue's capital as well as the island's service center. The visitor centre, supermarket, bank, post office, restaurants and market are all concentrated along the seafront road. The market on Tuesday and Friday mornings sells local fruit and handicrafts. Several coastal paths lead down to the reef flats, good for watching the sunset. From July to October, humpback whales often blow spray just offshore. At the visitor centre, you can pick up maps, check tide times and book activities.
