Top Attractions in Punaauia
💡 Go around 4pm when the tour buses have left. Bring mosquito repellent—they come out suddenly near the brackish water.
💡 Check the swell forecast for 'Tahiti north coast'—anything above 1.5m works best. Stand back 3 metres; unexpected waves can soak you. Can get slippery.
💡 Saturday 6-9am has the best selection. Skip the shell necklaces here; they're 30% cheaper at the roadside stalls on Route de ceinture.
💡 Best on weekday mornings before 10am. The weekend crowd brings music and barbecues. Park on the street, not the sandy verge—local gendarmes ticket.
💡 Come at dawn when the light hits Moorea's peaks. The last 20 metres of the path is uneven coral rock—not great in flip-flops.
