Fanning Island, Kiribati

Submitted by Andrew.TyLaFontaine on

Lying more than 1,000 nautical miles south of Hawaiʻi, Fanning Island, also known as Tabuaeran (meaning “heavenly footprint” in Polynesian), feels like a secret kept by the sea; there are no big hotels, no cars, no crowds—just sandy paths, pandanus trees, and the hush of waves on coral reef. Just over 2,000 people call the island home; unsurprisingly, local life moves gently. Children greet you in Gilbertese with songs, and women weave mats from palm leaves or sell shell jewelry from market stalls. In the water, the pace picks up with tropical sealife flitting about their daily duties.
