Piagailoe

This atoll rises 3 meters above sea level and contains multiple small coral formations surrounded by clear waters of the Pacific Ocean.

The atoll holds several underwater shipwrecks from different periods, including three documented sites known as West Fayu Wreck 1, 2, and 3.

Traditional navigation routes pass through this atoll, serving as a crucial waypoint for Pacific Islander sailors using celestial and wave patterns.

Access to the atoll requires coordination with local authorities in Yap State, as transportation options are limited to small vessels or specialized aircraft.

The surrounding lagoon contains designated areas for sea turtle hunting, following practices established by generations of Pacific island communities.
