Taahiamanu beach

Taahiamanu is a public beach in the north of Moorea island, French Polynesia. There are many trees near the water, as well as some palms. The sand is white, and it is very nice ashore. The bottom is mostly rocky and is more suitable for snorkeling (especially on the reef), than for swimming. The beach has a shower and picnic tables, but there is no toilet room. It is usually crowded on weekends, because of the locals. Shore and seabed: sand, stones. [edit]
