Memories of War at Peleliu



Peleliu Island is a fascinating mix of natural beauty and eerie reminders of our warring past. During WWII Japanese troops had established a remarkable network of caves and reinforced battlements, making the battle of Peleliu one of the bloodiest of the war. There were unbelievable casualties on both sides. 

As you wander the coastlines, you’ll stumble across old cannon shelters or inland you'll find caves that served as command centers and hospitals. Bloody Beach, despite it's name, is one of the most relaxing, quiet beaches you could ever visit.
