Wewak Travel Guide
Papua New Guinea
Wewak is a small coastal city in Papua New Guinea, with a population of 18,230. It sits on the country's northern coast and serves as a local base for exploring this part of Papua New Guinea.
Most travellers arrive by air through Wewak Airport (WWK). There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres of the city, so Wewak is better suited to travellers focused on the town and its surrounding region than on a beach break.
