Makemo Travel Guide
French Polynesia
Makemo is a small island community in French Polynesia, with a population of 1,555. It lies in the tropical Pacific and is best suited to travellers looking for a quieter island setting rather than a large urban destination.
Travellers arriving by air use Makemo Airport (MKP), the airport serving the city. There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres, so beach plans should be based on local coastal areas rather than a specific nearby resort beach.
