Palmerston Island Travel Guide

Tourist 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.
