Toke Atoll
Island Coral atoll with lagoon in the Marshall Islands
Toke Atoll is a small atoll in the Marshall Islands’ island group. Its lagoon and coral reef attract sailors and divers interested in remote Pacific atolls and traditional island environments.
Toke Atoll is a small coral atoll in the Marshall Islands, part of the country’s chain of low-lying Pacific atolls. It comprises a ring of reef and small islets surrounding a central lagoon, typical of Marshallese atoll geomorphology.
The atoll is low-lying and unfortified, with vegetation and shoreline typical of remote Pacific coral islands. It is sparsely inhabited or uninhabited depending on the islet and local settlement patterns, and access is by boat.
Toke lies within the administrative grouping of the Marshall Islands and forms part of the broader island and atoll network in the central Pacific. Sea and weather conditions determine accessibility and visitability.
