Motu Pitiahe beach

Motu Pitiahe is the southern islet (so-called motu) in Maupiti atoll, French Polynesia. In fact, there are two small islands, where our islet is at the left. The place is pretty nice, and even gets some boat tours. Unfortunately, there are not many sandy coastal areas. The sea bottom is mostly rocky. But it's quite typical for coral atolls. Shore and seabed: sand, stones. [edit]
