Moana Sands beach

Moana Sands is a beach on the south coast of Rarotonga island in the Cook Islands. Sea bottom is mostly sandy. So the swimming is quite comfortable. Good snorkeling is also possible right from the beach. Nearby, there is a large supermarket (24/7), a good restaurant and a bus stop. So you will be able to explore the whole island. Shore and seabed: sand, stones. [edit]
