Avatele Beach
Avatele
The largest sandy bay in the south, with fishing boats moored along it and easy snorkeling. Wednesday-night Washaway Café is a social hotspot.
Avatele Beach lies in the southwest of Niue, by Avatele village. It is the island's largest and most accessible sandy bay. Local fishermen launch their canoes here, and the shallow water over the reef flat is good for snorkeling. The Washaway Café on the beach is known for its self-service honesty bar and Wednesday-night burger nights, and it is a popular meeting spot for visitors and residents alike. Nearby, the Tamakautoga reef platform can be explored on foot to see its tidepools.
