Aratika atoll

Aratika is an atoll to the east of Rangiroa Atoll in French Polynesia. This is not very interesting place. However, it has a nice lagoon with paradise sandbanks. Most beaches are rocky with uncomfortable sea bottom. The main problem is that flights are quite irregular. So sometimes it can be hard just to get here (or back home). Shore and seabed: rocks, sand.
