Relax at Anibore Bay, probably the most beautiful beach on the island (although the sea currents are dangerous).

Take a dip in Anibore Harbour, which is the best bet for swimming, as most beaches are too shallow and rocky.
Watch the local teams battle it out at an Australian rules football match. The national game is played all through Saturday at the Linkbelt Oval sports field.
Walk up to Command Ridge, Nauru's highest point, and view an entire country.
Head out to sea and try your luck at game fishing.
Take a look at the island's bizarre interior, where years of phosphate mining have exposed jagged coral pinnacles, leaving a lunar-like landscape.
Look out for Nauru's national weighlifting team in training. The team has had some recent international success, notably at the Commonwealth Games.
Catch a more traditional sport. The Frigate bird game is the most distinctive, and there are several popular ball games and wrestling games of local origin.
In Yaren, spot the remains of Japanese guns, bunkers and pillboxes left over from WWII.
