best places to visit in marshall islands
Majuro
Majuro is the capital and largest city of the Marshall Islands. It is also a large coral atoll of 64 islands in the Pacific Ocean. The atoll has a land area of 9.7 km2 and encloses a lagoon of 295 km2.
The stunning Majuro Bridge is considered an architectural masterpiece that is worth seeing when you visit. Furthermore, the cruises and boats sailing under the bridge are such a pleasant view to see. Before departing the city for snorkeling adventures, take the opportunity to learn about the history and people of the Marshall Islands at the Alele Museum, or shop for some traditional woven baskets and bags, a specialty of the islands.
Bikini Atoll
Bikini Atoll is a coral reef in the Marshall Islands consisting of 23 islands surrounding a 594.1 km2 central lagoon.
After World War II, the atoll’s inhabitants were forcibly relocated in 1946, after which the islands and lagoon were the sites of 23 nuclear tests by the United States (until 1958). Since scientists found dangerously high levels of strontium-90 in well water in 1977, the residents were evacuated in 1980. The atoll is occasionally visited today by divers and a few scientists and is occupied by a handful of caretakers. If you love adventure sports or sailing or cruise rides, this is a place that you must visit.
