Overview
The de facto capital of Nauru, the world's smallest island nation, Yaren is a small district on the south coast of this tiny phosphate isle. Rarely visited, it offers a raw look at Pacific island life, WWII relics, and a coral-fringed shore.
Top attractions
See WWII Japanese guns and bunkers, view the moonscape of the interior phosphate workings, relax at Anibare Bay, and walk the coastal reef flats.
Getting around
A single ring road circles the island in about 20 minutes by car, and taxis or rentals are the main option. Distances are short and easily covered.
