Niue

Alofi, Niue

The small island of Niue, measuring about 100 square miles, is unique by many counts. It’s one of the largest coral islands in the world, surrounded entirely by coral reefs except for one stretch of the west coast near the capital, Alofi. Limestone cliffs and caves line the coast and cliff-encircled chasm pools are popular destinations with tourists. Humpback whales have been known to nurse their calves off the coast of the island during the summer, though a respectful distance is encouraged while observing them. The absence of lakes and rivers keeps the water very clear and safe to drink.
