This Is the Best Beach of 2024, According to Travel Experts

"As the island's main public beach and one of its most celebrated stretches of sand, this spot provides sweeping views across an artificially bright-blue lagoon toward waving palms, overwater bungalows, and the towering peaks of Mount Pahia and Mount Otemanu. It is one of the few accessible beaches amid an island of narrow sandbars and motus, prized for soft sand, clear swimming and snorkeling conditions, and straightforward beachfront lounging that makes it a popular choice for visitors." - Evie Carrick Evie Carrick Evie Carrick is a writer and editor who’s lived in five countries and visited well over 50.
