Main image

Tepoto (North) is a small coral atoll in the northern part of the Tuamotu Archipelago in French Polynesia. It is a low-lying ring of reef and motu surrounding a central lagoon and is one of several similarly named atolls in the Tuamotus.

Like many Tuamotu atolls it has limited land area and sparse infrastructure; some atolls in this cluster are uninhabited or have very small populations. The atoll lies in the central South Pacific Ocean within French Polynesia’s territorial waters.

Geographically it is part of the northern Tuamotu island group and is reached only by infrequent boat services or by local air connections to larger regional islands when available.
