Most Marshall Islands attractions are situated on the largest and most populous landmass, Majuro, including the archipelago’s most well known sunbathing spot, Laura Beach Park. On the way to Laura, most visitors will pass the Peace Park Memorial commemorating WWII soldiers who died during the Pacific conflict and the 1918 Typhoon Monument for the 200 victims of one of Majuro’s most devastating typhoons. The RRE Clam Farm and Tobolar Copra Processing Plant Tour both offer guided tours.

Alele Museum

The biggest museum on the Marshall Islands is named after a traditional basket and is dedicated to preserving Marshallese history and culture. All of the exhibits come from the islands, including its displays of traditional canoes, tools and other artifacts. The Joachim Debrum Collection, the most historically significant photo anthology, contains over 2,500 glass negatives depicting life between 1880 and 1930. The Bogan Collection is named after a 1940s Marshallese crafts collector who generously donated his entire archive to the museum in 1994. Guests can also purchase memorabilia at the gift shop.

Peace Park Memorial

Some of the bloodiest battles in all of WWII were fought on the Marshall Islands. The Japanese government constructed this serene granite monument near the airport to honor the soldiers from their country who lost their lives during these devastating conflicts. During the war, the atoll of Majuro was first occupied by the Japanese and then the Americans. Colorful flowers and creatively arranged rocks fill the park’s meticulously manicured gardens.

1918 Typhoon Monument

In 1918, more than 200 people perished during one of the most severe typhoons ever to strike the Marshall Islands. This large sandstone monument in honor of the victims stands at a coastal dirt road at a corner of Laura Beach Park. The Monument also pays tribute to the Emperor of Japan, who generously donated much of the money used to rebuild Majuro after the incident. The full story of the 1918 typhoon is inscribed on the reminder.

The Aquarium

Despite its name, Majuro’s Aquarium is not an indoor building where visitors merely observe sea creatures from behind glass, but a thin strip of land where visitors can actually dive beneath the surface to interact with marine life. The Pacific Ocean lies on one side of the Aquarium, while a lovely lagoon resides on the other. The water depths range between 60 to 130 feet.
