Palmerston Island

Travel Guide

Palmerston Island is another of those very hard to reach places. A delivery ship stops by once or twice a year and some cruising yachts visit.

The population was 52 when we visited in 2010.  Everyone's last name is Marsters, all descendants of William Marsters  who moved to the deserted island in the 1800's with his 3 wives.

The room was very good. The staff were friendly and helpful. It was nice that they replaced the towels every day. It was great that we could use the towels off site. Service and the food was very good.
