Papeete - all beaches

This beach in Moorea is popular among both tourists and locals, and is considered one of the best. The sand is soft and white, and the reefs are great for snorkeling. It's easy to locate and there's ample parking available. However, there isn't much shade, so it's advisable to bring hats or an umbrella.

This resort is by far the best we have ever stayed at. The location is absolutely stunning and the over-water bungalows offer breathtaking views that are truly awesome. However, what sets this place apart is the exceptional level of service. We encountered no problems whatsoever during our week-long stay, and everyone we interacted with was incredibly friendly and lovely. It was a truly positive experience from start to finish. I must commend the staff for their faultless service. They took excellent care of us and made this vacation the best I have ever had. It was just so nice.

This beach is perfect for body boarding, but the sand is coarse and black. It was an amazing experience! The two food spots are fantastic, but keep in mind that you'll need to speak and read French to order. The staff at both places are excellent!

We had an amazing time during our stay! The premium over water bungalow we stayed in was absolutely stunning. The room was spotless and the housekeeping staff did an excellent job. It's incredible that we didn't encounter any bugs or mold considering the island climate. Despite being here during the first week of November, the resort didn't feel overcrowded. Conveniently, the resort is located just across the road from a tour company and it's only a short walk into town where you can find grocery stores, shops, and restaurants. The staff at this resort were incredibly friendly and always willing to help. While there are paddle boards, kayaks, and snorkel gear available for free at the pool area, we preferred using our own snorkel gear to take a dip right off the deck of our bungalow. The snorkeling experience here was fantastic as well!

This beach, located not far from Papeete, has great black sand and relatively calm waters, making it a very pleasant spot. It also has a number of monuments that commemorate significant events in Tahiti's colonial history. Additionally, it has good facilities.

This is the ultimate beach destination, although it's a shame that the buildings on the left are run-down. Other than that, the upkeep is impeccable. The morning is the ideal time to visit as the afternoons tend to be breezy and the currents can be felt more. There are plenty of activities to enjoy such as petanque and ping pong. All in all, it's a fantastic spot.
