About Peleliu
Peleliu is an island in the Palau archipelago in Micronesia. It was the site of a World War II battle between U. S. and Japanese troops, now marked by rusted military remains in the island's rocky caves and forests, as well as underwater shipwrecks. White Beach and Bloody Beach are known for coral reefs, while Peleliu Wall, a reef with a drop of around 300m, is home to sharks, sea turtles and colorful fish.
