Motu Tikehau beach

Motu Tikehau is the main island of Tikehau Atoll in French Polynesia. The best beaches are located on the northern coast - especially near the airport. Northwest end of the island is also interesting, since it is possible to walk to a small uninhabited islet. Many hotels provide their guests with bicycles, so you can easily roam around the island. It is also possible to rent a car. However, it is quite possible to explore the island just walking on your own. Because the island is only three kilometers long. Shore and seabed: sand, stones.
