Pukarua Travel Guide

French Polynesia

Pukarua is a very small locality in French Polynesia, with a recorded population of zero. It is not a conventional town or resort destination, so travellers should plan carefully before visiting.

The city is served by Pukarua Airport (PUK), making air travel the practical way to arrive. There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres, so Pukarua is not a base for visiting a concentration of developed beach sites.
