Peleliu, Pacific archipelago island in Palau.
Peleliu extends over 13 square kilometers with white sand beaches, limestone cliffs, and dense tropical vegetation along its coastline.
The Battle of Peleliu in 1944 lasted 73 days, resulting in more than 12,000 casualties between American and Japanese forces during World War II.
The traditional structure of Peleliu includes five villages - Teliu, Ngerkeiukl, Ngesias, Ngerdelolk, and Ngerchol - each with specific social functions.
Visitors reach Peleliu by boat services from Koror, with accommodations limited to small guesthouses and basic facilities on the island.
The island contains an extensive network of natural caves and tunnels that Japanese forces converted into military fortifications during World War II.
