Queen Carola Harbour is a coral-fringed natural inlet cutting deep into the west coast of Buka Island, in Papua New Guinea's Autonomous Region of Bougainville on the Solomon Sea. The sheltered water offers good protection but no developed freight infrastructure, and a quay depth of about 1.8 metres limits it to small craft. Regional commercial cargo moves instead through the township of Buka on Buka Passage, an official PNG port of entry. For containers or larger volumes, forwarders rely on Buka or Kieta/Loloho on Bougainville, with wider connections usually routed via Rabaul.
