Wewak, the capital of the East Sepik province, is a charming coastal town situated on the north coast of Papua New Guinea. With a population of approximately 25,000, Wewak serves as a small port for vessels from Australia and coastal shipping. The town boasts its own international airport and is connected to several villages along the Sepik River by road, although the infrastructure and conditions in the hinterland are primitive, limiting economic growth.

The old center of Wewak is located on a small peninsula, while the rest of the urban area stretches along a narrow strip of flat land between the ocean and the coastal mountain range, which emerges slightly inland. Towards the east of the town center lies a small peninsula housing Boram Hospital and Wewak International Airport, also known as Boram.

Wewak is connected by road to three villages along the Sepik River: Angoram, Timbunke, and Pagwi. However, the road conditions are not always favorable. Additionally, a coastal highway extends to the west, linking Wewak with the coastal towns of Aitape and Vanimo, the capital of Sandaun province. Wewak experiences a tropical rainforest climate.
