Oeno Island is an island of about 0.5 km² within a coral atoll of the same name, administratively linked to Pitcairn Island, which lies 143 kilometers to the south-east. It has no permanent population, but is occasionally visited by holiday makers from Pitcairn Island, who will travel there and stay for two weeks in January.
Fresh water for showering, washing clothes and dishes on Oeno is pumped out of a well dug in the sand, and into tanks. The water level is affected by tidal movement..
