Pink Sand Beaches
Les Sables Roses
Pale pink beaches formed from coral debris, stretching along clear, shallow lagoon waters. They are Tikehau's most famous sight.
Tikehau's pink sand is a mix of red foraminifera and coral fragments, glowing pale pink in the sunlight. It lies mainly on the islets and lagoon shores east of Tuherahera village. The stretch near the village can be reached by bicycle, while the more beautiful sandbars require a boat trip. In front of the beach lies knee-deep, crystal-clear shallow water, ideal for swimming, floating and photos, and it is almost deserted. There are no facilities, so bring your own drinking water, shade and sunscreen, and do not take sand or shells away.
