Vaiava Beach
Spend time beside the lagoon at Vaiava, also known as PK18, where pale sand, public facilities and views toward Mo'orea make a convenient west-coast beach stop.

Keep exploring French Polynesia with our travel partners.
Vaiava is useful when you want a beach visit with a clear public access point rather than a resort frontage. The lagoon and pale sand contrast with the dark-sand beaches elsewhere on Tahiti. Make the visit a relaxed shore stop, adjusting any swimming plans to posted conditions on arrival.
What to look for

Views toward Mo'orea
Useful to know
Use public access and assess the sea locally; the beach recommendation does not establish safe swimming conditions.
