Beach near Goroka, Papua New Guinea

Goroka Travel Guide

Papua New Guinea

Goroka is a small inland city in Papua New Guinea, with a population of 18,503. It sits in the country’s Eastern Highlands, away from the coast, so it is a highland base rather than a beach destination.

Most visitors arrive through Goroka Airport (GKA). There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres of the city, so coastal trips require travelling beyond the immediate area.
