Cape Torokina

Cape Torokina is a promontory at the north end of Empress Augusta Bay, along the central part of the western coast of Bougainville, in Papua New Guinea.

This cape formed the southern end of the landing zone where the United States I Marine Amphibious Corps performed an amphibious invasion on November 1, 1943 during Operation Cherry Blossom.

The small Puruata Island is just off the coast to the west of Cape Torokina.

The cape and island form a beach to the north which is subject to heavy surf.

A wide swamp stretched inland from the beach area, and the island was heavily forested.
