Nuku Hiva Marina

Tuck into this well-protected anchorage on the largest of the Marquesas Islands, the capital hub of this remote volcanic archipelago deep in the South Pacific. You'll find a dinghy dock to get ashore easily, with shops, a fruit and veggie market, and a small restaurant all within easy reach. It's as close to a proper provisioning stop as you'll get out here, making it a serious landmark for anyone crossing this part of the Pacific.
