Île aux Récifs
A small islet on the outer rim of the atoll. Weathered ancient coral reef rocks rise along its shore in unusual shapes, and tide pools among the rocks hold small fish.
Île aux Récifs lies on the southern outer rim of the atoll. Along its shore stand rows of ancient coral rocks eroded by waves into strange forms, known locally as “feo.” Some rise several meters high, contrasting strongly with the white sand, coconut palms, and deep blue open ocean. The tide pools among the rocks often hold small fish, sea cucumbers, and hermit crabs. You need a boat to get there. It is often a stop on a lagoon full-day tour or a standalone half-day trip. The rocks are sharp, so wear water shoes, and the ocean side has big waves, so do not swim there.
