The beaches of Tahiti have had a bad reputation, and it is often because they are compared with those of Moorea, Bora Bora and Tuamotu Islands, which is not very fair!
In fact, it is true that the beaches of Tahiti are the beautiful white sand beaches as you can see in the brochures of travel agencies, but this is not a reason to ignore them, and if you spend a few days or weeks in Tahiti, why you not take a chance and go relax in one of them.
Public beaches favored by locals and tourists are from the west coast, between the Mahana Park and Tahiti hotel Le Meridien.
All the places listed below are usually busy on weekends.
- Mahana Park – 18.5 PK: A few yards after the previous track when you just coming from Paeete. A pleasant and shady park where many locals play volleyball or soccer on weekends.
- Venus Point: If you plan to stay a few days in Papeete, the black sand beach of Point Venus, on the east coast, is closer than the beaches of the west coast.
- PK 18 (right at the bridge): White sand beach with good snorkeling spot. Know the best season and time to visit and what to do when traveling to the beaches of Tahiti.
