Bairiki Causeway beach

Bairiki is a beach on the north side of Nippon (?) causeway connecting the islands of Bairiki and Betio on Tarawa atoll. Closer to Bairiki island, there is a strip of trees near the shallow lagoon. This is not a real tropical paradise, but it's a good beach by the standards of Tarawa. Shore and seabed: sand, stones. [edit]

Hotels [edit]

Marys Motel is an inexpensive accomodation option located on Bairiki island just near the causeway. Unfortunately, it is poorly presented in the international booking systems. There are also several other guesthouses nearby.

How to get there [edit]

Fly to Tarawa international airport (TRW). Next hire a taxi or take a bus.

When to go [edit]

Bairiki island in Kiribati has excellent weather for a beach holiday any time of year. The peak of a rainy season is in December and January, but there are still a lot of sunny days.
