Black Coral Island
Black Coral
A small sandy island offshore from Kitti municipality, with coral gardens good for snorkeling, often a lunch stop on day trips.
Black Coral Island is a small sand island with only a few coconut palms, sitting on the barrier reef off Kitti municipality, southwest of Pohnpei. The shallow coral gardens around it are colorful, making it ideal for snorkeling and picnicking, and you can look across to the rainforested mountains of Pohnpei's main island. Hotels or dive shops usually arrange half-day or full-day boat trips, often combined with Ant Atoll or a mangrove tour. A small landing fee applies. Bring your own food and drinking water.
