Marshall Islands

Where the only thing more abundant than coconuts is the number of times you'll have to explain where the Marshall Islands are.

Marshall Islands: The only place where you can surf, snorkel, and still manage to get sunburned from standing under a palm tree.

Marshall Islands: A nation so laid-back, you'll need to set your watch to "Island Time" just to keep up with the locals' relaxed pace.

The Marshall Islands is one of only two countries in the world made up entirely of low-lying coral atolls.

The country is home to Bikini Atoll, where the US conducted nuclear tests in the 1940s and 50s.
