Hayes is thought to have buried his treasure in the vicinity, but nothing has ever been found. Today, Kosrae is the most religious island in Micronesia, thanks to the Congregational missionariy efforts of the mid 19th century. Churches are packed on Sundays, and shops and offices are closed that day. Kosrae is heaven to those who like to find their own way around. The best advice is to hire a car and drive to the various villages, stopping off at some of the more inviting beaches for a swim and a snorkel.
Villagers are invariably friendly and hospitable.
Kosrae, even today, remains in the relatively undiscovered category. The island has several quite good hotels and restaurants, and rentals cars are readily available. This land and its friendly people are a unique find in the Pacific. These sites are not part of the FSM Web site and we have no control over their content or availability.
