Bora Bora beach

On closer inspection, it turns out that not all beaches of Bora Bora correspond to our ideas about the ideal. Bora Bora is a volcanic island. It arose in the crater of an extinct volcano. A lagoon is located Inside the island, the water in it warms up perfectly. Despite its closeness, water has a high degree of transparency. The role of natural filters is played by corals that surround the island. The interior of the lagoon is heterogeneous. In some places the bottom is sand and coral chips, somewhere - sand and shingle.

For example, Motira is the only public beach on the island that stretches along its southeastern tip on the outside. The sand is soft and fine like powder on the coast, and the entrance to the sea is broken coral. On Eden Beach, where not the highest-end hotels are concentrated, there is algae in the water, on the Intercontinental Thalasso, where chic and luxury prevail, the entry into the sea is sandy, but on the common beach the sand is hard, as if compressed. Despite the internal attractiveness of all local beaches, each need to be considered separately to choose the suitable one.

Beaches on Bora-Bora are officially public but most of areas on them and sometimes the whole one belong to hotels.

Beaches are long but its width is not more than 20 m. The coolest entertainment on Bora-Bora - is snorkelling (swimming with a tube and a mask underwater). A mask and tube are provided in each bungalow as a guest service. The underwater world of Bora Bora is astonishing. Local people feed rays here. They are almost tame and are not afraid of people. Feeling of such communication with silent underwater giants is amazing. Here, all comers can feed reef sharks or barracudas. Everything happens under the supervision of professionals, so you should not be afraid for your safety.

Diving and parasailing are also popular on the island. You can ride a scooter, yacht, boat, catamaran, kayak. By the way, kayaking is also possible between hotels and even the nearest islands.

It is possible to reach the central island and the surrounding islands in different ways. The ring road connecting the hotels of different islands passes around. You can reach the place by special transport boats from the airport, which is located on the most northern of the islands. There is also a ferry service.

When is it better to go

The tropical climate of the Society of French Polynesia Islands allows you to relax here all year round. Air temperature always keeps at + 25-27˚С. The water temperature is in the same range, and a light breeze from the ocean allows you not to notice the heat. But the period from October to April is considered the best time to relax, when it is actually a summer on the islands. In winter, travelers say the weather is very unpredictable.
