Nejlepší čas k návštěvě
Weekday mornings are calmest before the local crowd rolls in. Visit during the dry season from May to October for steady sun and gentler trade winds.
Tipy pro rozpočet
Entry is free, and there are no passes or tickets needed. Bring your own food and drinks, since the nearest shops are a 15-minute walk away and the few roadside snack stands charge tourist-level prices.

O atrakcí
Rychlá fakta: This black-sand shoreline sits just a 10-minute drive from downtown Papeete, making it the closest beach to the capital. Local families pack picnic baskets and spread out across its volcanic pebbles every sunny weekend.
Zajímavosti: Chunks of coral and crushed black basalt give the shoreline a striking charcoal color, and the water turns a deep emerald where the waves roll in over the reef. When the breeze picks up mid-afternoon, the lagoon kicks into a gentle surf that's perfect for bodyboarding, and you can watch outrigger canoes glide past just offshore.
Insider tipy
- Wear water shoes or reef sandals, since the volcanic pebbles get sharp underfoot and are painful to walk on barefoot.
- Arrive before 9 a.m. on weekends to snag a shaded spot under the ironwood trees along the back edge of the sand.
- Skip the middle of the day in the dry season, when the exposed stretch gets baking hot with almost no cover.
- The best photo angle is from the small rocky headland on the east end, where you can frame the black sand against the green slopes of Tahiti Nui.
