Paraoa

Paraoa Bird's Eye View

Paraoa, a small roughly heart-shaped atoll, is located 75 km to the south of Hao.
The information can hardly be obtained about Paraoa. I inferred about this atoll based on the scenery that I designed.
The atoll that consists of an single island encloses a shallow lagoon. There is no passage connecting the lagoon with the open ocean. Therefore, usually the lagoon has no channel linking it with the open sea; only when the tide level is high, the water from the open sea reaches the lagoon via a few narrow passes. As a result, its waters are a high concentration of salt.
