Why go

The long beach offers a good way to observe Tahiti’s surf culture from land. Dark sand, stretches of rounded stones and breaking waves make the shore visually different from the sheltered lagoon coast. A short watching stop can easily become longer, but water entry calls for an assessment of surf and currents.

What to look for

  • Black sand and pebble shore
  • Surfers riding the east-coast waves
