The discovery of Tahiti’s interior beauty was spectacular, but I couldn’t resist my time at the beach, either. The competition for the nicest beach in Tahiti is a tight one, but here are the notes I took while sunbathing:
Beaches on Tahiti:
Pointe Venus: Black sand beach, home of the historical lighthouse
Radisson Public Beach: Also black sand, but considerably less crowded and cleaner
Le Meridien Public Beach: Great snorkeling, but tons of sea slugs
Plage de Maui: A heckuva drive, but not crowded, some of the best snorkeling around
Beaches on Mo’orea:
Tem’aa: Not very good snorkeling, but clear sand for frolics and swimming
Party boats moored at sunset.
