We anchored off this beautiful set of islands with a white sand beach between them. Our boat Tahina is the catamaran anchored off. This is definitely one of those top beaches of the world candidates. The bigger part of the island to the north has a little backpacker's sort of primitive resort, and there are locals who bring out souvenirs to sell on the beach. There is also a little cafe/bar like area.  The other side of the beach has shallower water and a large rock islet that almost looks like a sunken ship from a distance.  Very beautiful setting with turquoise waters everywhere, especially at low tide.
