Eiao

Nuku-Hiva, France

Eiao is the largest of the extreme northwestern Marquesas Islands. The island is uninhabited, but is administratively part of the commune (municipality) of Nuku-Hiva, itself in the administrative subdivision of the Marquesas Islands. As of 2022, the only settlement on the island is a small shelter on the north coast of Vaithua Bay with a water tap. There are some small artificial structures in the north of the island, most likely for archeological purposes. There is a small shrine of Mother Mary somewhere along a trail to the plateau at the top of the island.
