Fugalei

A small formation situated off the eastern shore of Mata-Utu, surrounded by the clear waters of the South Pacific Ocean.

The islet has been an integral component of Wallis and Futuna's maritime territory since France established its protectorate over the islands in 1887.

The islet forms part of the traditional fishing grounds where local inhabitants practice methods passed down through generations of Wallisian maritime culture.

Visitors can reach the islet by traditional outrigger canoes or small boats departing from the main port of Mata-Utu during favorable weather conditions.

The geographic position of the islet at 13°16′50″S and 176°8′47″W makes it a reference point for local navigation within the lagoon system.
