Majuro - General Info
Where is Majuro?
Majuro is the capital of the Marshall Islands. The downtown area is spread between Uliga and Delap, which are the locations of all the government offices, the main stores and hotels, and commercial offices.
Majuro Entrance Notes and Cautions
Entrance can be a bit daunting if there is a big swell with waves breaking all over the place, but recent cruiser reports indicate it’s not as scary as it may seem. There are “beacons” marking the entrance, however many are missing (see image) and they come in varying shapes and sizes (see 2nd image). These are also not lit, so do not attempt a night entrance.
Majuro Cruiser Highlights
There is a cruiser net every morning at 0730 on VHF Channel 71 where you can ask anything you need to know. The Mieco Beach Yacht Club welcomes cruisers and offers a joining fee that includes social events as well as use of moorings at various islets away from the main town. On Tuesdays there is a cruiser’s dinner at a local restaurant.
