Fodor's Expert Review Opunohu Beach

This public beach, about half a mile long, is on the northeast side of Opunohu Bay. It's popular on the weekends with French and Tahitian families, boys playing soccer, and people picnicking under the trees. There are lovely views back to the bay. Dozens of catamarans belonging to the Moorea Sailing School (Ecole de Voile de Moorea) line the shore of one section of the beach. Opunohu Beach is about a mile west of the Hilton Moorea Lagoon Resort and Spa.
