Keep exploring French Polynesia with our travel partners.
Point Venus offers several ways to spend an hour without counting each memorial as a separate attraction. Walk between the lighthouse, historical markers and beach to understand how this shoreline connects with European voyages and later arrivals. The open bay and black sand are as much part of the visit as the monuments.
