A remote west-coast village and associated commune (514 people in 2022), about 90 minutes by road from Hakahau. Its houses climb a steep valley above a rocky shore.
Practical
Coordinate from Wikipedia. Chugach (Apr 2019) anchored off Hakamaii but could not land the dinghy through the swell. Treat it as a day stop in very calm conditions, or visit by road from Hakahau.
