Keleti Beach
Keleti
A natural rock-pool beach on a coral reef shelf along the south coast. At low tide you can soak in tide pools, and at high tide waves burst over the reef.
Keleti Beach lies on the south coast, where a coral reef shelf runs offshore. At low tide, clear natural tide pools form, where you can wade, bathe and watch small fish. At high tide, waves batter the rocks and form small blowholes. A resort once stood by the beach, and the surroundings remain quiet. The beach is about 12 kilometers from the capital and can be combined with the Hufangalupe Arch and the Blowholes. The rocks are sharp, so wear protective footwear when going into the water.
