Niau Atoll

Niau is a small atoll in French Polynesia. It is located to the southeast of more popular Rangiroa Atoll. This place is not very interesting by the regional standards. There are no good beaches, nor any notable attractions. As for lagoon boat tours or ocean fishing, you may get it almost everywhere else in Polynesia. Shore and seabed: stones, sand. [edit]
