Tureia atoll is 15 km long and 8 kilometres (5.0 miles) across at its widest; its total land area is 8 km². A very long island completely covers its eastern reef. The lagoon has no navigable entrance. The village of Hakamaru (or Fakamaru) is the only settlement on Tureia, at the northern tip of the atoll.
