If you’ve been following my stories you know that I’m travelling through French Polynesia. This truly has been paradise and I promise to share a lot more images when I’m back home (once I get them download and processed.) This is the port in Raiatea a small island not far from Moorea and part of the Society Island group. .. .. #frenchpolynesia #raiatea #societyislands #southpacific #tahiti #beachlife #travelingram #igtravel #travelblogger #traveltheworld #instatraveling #instapassport #instago #ocean #mytravelgram #traveladdict #lonelyplanet #travelphotography #travelandleisure #exploremore #exploretheworld #destination_wow #creativecontentbuilders #ig_myshot #travelandlife #nomadict (at Raiatea) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeAQjUvKBsk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Contes et légendes d'Océanie - Le collier de perles noires

Il était une fois une jeune fille très belle qui s’appelait Hina. Toutes les fées du ciel s’étaient penchées sur son berceau et l’avaient dotée de toutes les qualités : la grâce, la beauté, l’intelligence, la gentillesse. Jamais l’île de Raiatea n’avait connu de reine qui rassemblât autant de qualités.À vingt ans, son cœur n’était pas encore pris, malgré la cour assidue que lui faisaient de…

Top 10 Best Beaches in the South Pacific

Beachside getaways offer a relaxing escape from the bustling everyday, with proximity to water being scientifically proven to help relax the nervous system. For travellers considering a South Pacific holiday it’s likely that white sand shorelines and lapping azure waves were high on the list of attractive drawcards. Our specialist team have compiled a list of our Top 10 best beaches in the South Pacific to help you decide which destination to visit, and get you into the ultimate zen state! For tailored advice call one of our reservations specialists on 1800 800 722 or explore our online package deals.

10. Emily Bay, Norfolk Island

Coming in at tenth spot on our list is Emily Bay, recognisably featured on most Norfolk Island post cards and travel brochures. It sits right beside the historic Kingston and Arthurs Vale Historic Area and is a safe harbour for swimmers.

Why do we love it?

With the historic settlements near by it is easy to comprehend just how many generations have dipped into these waters, and have left the Bay with a ‘presence’. Not to mention it’s cool clear blue waters and cute swimming platform! Did you know that the local school uses Emily Bay for it’s swimming lessons and carnival? And in Summer local families get permits to camp in the treeline surrounding the bay — a unique Norfolk experience!

9. Fare Beach, Huahine

Fare Beach on the lesser known Tahitian isle of Huahine takes out position 9. Unlike her more popular sister islands, Huahine has a peaceful ambience and simplistic way of life. Here you will find Polynesia’s largest concentration of marae from pre-European times, and you’ll also find Fare Beach.

Why do we love it?

The beach at Fare is public and just off the town, but it has a treelined shore with glistening waters and some worthwhile snorkelling. From here you can see the islands of Raiatea and Tahaa too, which are all encircled by the same lagoon. Lots of visitors travel to Bora Bora for her bottomless blues and island views — Huahine can offer a similar, more discreet, experience.

8. Titikaveka Beach, Rarotonga

Anyone familiar with the main hub of the Cook Islands will have spent some time on Titikaveka’s shores. On Rarotonga ‘s southern coastline this 10km stretch of coastal perfection is dotted with swaying coconut palms and volcanic rock snorkelling spots.

Why do we love it?

Because it’s a long expanse of beach Titikaveka never feel crowded, and the resorts on the beachfront don’t absorb all it’s beauty. At the halfway point of the island, around the Fruits of Rarotonga sign, lies some of the best snorkelling you’ll find in Raro.

7. Blinky Beach, Lord Howe Island

Being a World Heritage Listed destination means Lord Howe Island’s visitor numbers are capped. Perfect for those wanting a quiet, nature-based getaway! And Blinky Beach, on the eastern side of the island, is perfect for a dip in the sea, casting a rod, or a sun kissed picnic.

Why do we love it?

Lord Howe is synonymous with great walks and hiking trails, so much so that the beaches don’t get much of a broadcast — but they should! Blinky’s in particular is an idyllic spot for warm sands and rolling waves, with a lush mountainous backdrop. The waters here are known for being uncrowded and full of clean breaks, what locals have come to call ‘Champagne surf’, so bring the board or fins!

6. Chateaubriand Bay, Lifou

Our 6th spot is relatively unknown to most travellers and that’s part of it’s appeal quite honestly! Lifou, located in the Loyalty Islands of New Caledonia and a 2 hour flight from Noumea, is the largest in the island group and offers the greatest contrast too. On the eastern side of the island lies Chateaubriand Bay.

Why do we love it?

Swimmers, watersports lovers and even fitness enthusiasts can revel in the beauty and accessibility of this beach. It’s a postcard with pristine azure waters that seem to glitter in the sun, yet isn’t ever crawling with tourists. The best part about it is that time seems to stand still here, so the days seem to be even more tranquil and freeing.
