Oneop is an atoll island in Yap State, Federated States of Micronesia, located in the western part of the Caroline Islands in the western Pacific Ocean. It consists of several small islands and coral reefs with a total land area of about 2.8 square kilometers surrounded by a rich marine ecosystem.
Oñop is known for its pristine tropical landscape with crystal clear lagoons, white sand beaches and dense coconut groves. The local population lives mainly on fishing and subsistence farming, and has preserved traditional Micronesian cultural practices. A unique cultural heritage of stone coins can be seen on the island, giant limestone disks that were once the traditional medium of exchange in the Yap Islands.
Due to its remote location, Onyop is less visited and is reached by small boats via the main island of Yap. It is a hidden paradise for divers, with intact coral reefs and remnants of WWII shipwrecks in the surrounding waters. The island's simple infrastructure makes it suitable for adventure seekers looking for a pristine travel experience.
