Ra (island)
Island in Vanuatu
Rah or Ra is a small coral islet of 0.5 km2 (0.19 sq mi), located in the Banks group of northern Vanuatu.[2] The same name also refers to the single village which is situated within this islet.
There is a massive rock tower on the island, which is a popular hiking spot for locals as well as tourists.[3] It is named Tavalya in Mwotlap (meaning "the other side of Ra"), and sometimes labelled 'the Rock of Rah' in English.[3]
The islet of Rah is situated off the larger island of Mota Lava. Access to Rah is done in two ways: at low tide, by wading across the narrow strait from the mainland; at high tide, by outrigger canoe.
