Uturoa Municipal Market
Marché d'Uturoa
A municipal market beside the port, selling tropical fruit, fresh fish, flower garlands, and handicrafts. It is a good place to experience island daily life.
The market sits right next to the Uturoa port. On the ground floor, fruit and vegetable stalls, fresh fish sellers, and food stands sell local herbs, noni fruit, coconuts, and freshly made raw fish salad. Upstairs, craft stalls sell shell jewelry, pareo wraps, and black pearls. It opens early in the morning from Monday to Saturday, with fewer stalls after 10 a.m. On Sundays it opens only briefly in the morning. It can be visited together with the town's main street.
Opening hours
Approx. 05:00–17:00; Sundays early morning only
