Taunga Island
Taunga
A small island in the south of the group. At low tide a white sandbar appears between it and a neighbouring islet, allowing you to wade across the shallows between the islands.
Taunga has a small village. At low tide, a sandbar appears on the island's southern side, connecting it to nearby islets. The water is clear, making it a good place for photos and swimming, and the nearby coral is good for snorkelling. It is often a stop on sailing routes or island-hopping tours. Plan around the tides, since the sandbar is submerged once the tide comes in.
