Lafayette beach

Lafayette is a beach located near Papeete - the main town of Tahiti island. As everywhere in Tahiti the sand is black, so the landscape is not so beautiful as on postcards of French Polynesia. However, it is still good to sunbathe and swim here. Shore and seabed: sand. [edit]

Hotels [edit]

There are few overpriced hotels near the Lafayette beach with Tahiti Pearl Beach Resort being the most notable one. Thus it would be more reasonable to stay somewhere in Papeete - not far from the airport.

How to get there [edit]

Fly to Tahiti International Airport (PPT). Next hire a taxi or take a bus.

When to go [edit]

The best time to relax on the beach of Lafayette is a dry season from April to September.
