Avea Beach
Plage d'Avea
A long white-sand beach on the southwest coast of Huahine Iti, with a calm lagoon good for swimming and snorkeling, and the best sunset spot on the island.
Avea Bay lies on the southwest coast of Huahine Iti, with a curving white-sand beach several kilometers long. The water is shallow and calm, making it one of the best beaches on the island for swimming. Small hotels and snack bars sit nearby, where you can rent kayaks and snorkeling gear, and in the evening the sun sets beyond the lagoon. From Fare, the drive takes about 30 minutes and passes the Maroe Bay Bridge linking Huahine Nui and Huahine Iti. The beach is a public area with no admission fee. Protect yourself from the sun, and do not step on the coral reef.
