Plage publique de Toaroto — Attraction in Punaʻauiʻa

Lovely public beach with EXCELLENT SNORKELING. I came with my husband from a nearby hotel (we hired a taxi). The hotel staff had some trouble determining where we were indicating we wanted to go and confused it with another public beach Vaiava. It was a little difficult to tell them where we wanted to go because we speak only English but we got there! There is also bus stop there too, but the bus system in Tahiti was very challenging to figure out.

There is a paddle board rental on the beach that is very affordable and you can leave your stuff there while you are out.

There is also a massage place there that was recommended to us by a local!

Beach is good for snorkeling, but be careful. We had cash stolen from our wallet that was in our car when we went snorkeling. They rummaged through our stuff and found the car key, then got the cash from the wallet in the glove...
