Tua'ati Rock Pools
Tua'ati
A small beach and rock pools between two rock walls on the west coast, where you can snorkel at low tide. It is one of the few places on the island to go into the water.
Tua'ati Rock Pools lie on the west coast, about 1.6 km south of Babe's Store in Oneroa. Look for a small strip of sand between two rock walls. The pools contain deeper water holes, and at low tide the surface is calm, so you can snorkel among tropical fish, sea cucumbers and shellfish clinging to the rock walls. Go at low tide and bring your own mask. The rocks are sharp, so wear water shoes. Do not go into the water when the tide is rising or when there is a swell.
