Tauere Atoll or Taouere, also known as Te Putua, is a small atoll of the central Tuamotu Archipelago in French Polynesia. It is located {{convert|85|km|mi|0|abbr=off}} northwest of Hao Atoll's westernmost point.

Tauere Atoll is squarish in shape. It measures {{convert|7.5|km|mi|1|abbr=off}} across. The islands are located on its northern and eastern sides. Its lagoon is not connected to the ocean by a pass, which makes this small atoll quite inaccessible.

Tauere has only 3 inhabitants.

History

The first European recorded sight of the atoll was by the Spanish expedition of Pedro Fernandez de Quirós on 12 February 1606. They charted it as La Decena.[2] Tauere was again sighted by Spanish navigator Domingo de Boenechea in October 1772 on the ship Aguila.[3] He called this atoll San Simon y Judas. Hence this atoll appears in some maps as St. Simon.

Administration

Administratively Tauere belongs to the commune of Amanu (Main village: Ikitake) which includes the atolls of Rekareka (uninhabited) and Tauere.

The Amanu commune is associated with the Hao commune.
