Raiatea island

Raiatea is an island in French Polynesia located not far from Bora Bora. The main island itself has no good beaches, nor outstanding attractions. Surrounding motus may offer few good beaches. However, transportation issues make visiting these motus to be quite difficult and expensive. Shore and seabed: stones, sand. [edit]
