Toto2Kansas Posted September 20, 2010 #2 Share Posted September 20, 2010 I have yet to ever find a nice beach anywhere near Papeete (after 7 visits looking for one). There might be one somewhere, but we have never found it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Fletcher Posted September 22, 2010 #3 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Tahiti is not really a beach place at all - though I happen to like the black sand beach at the Radisson Hotel, about 3-4 miles west of Papeete. It's part of historic Matavai Bay where the original 18th century voyagers made their base camps. Further west is Point Venus and from the sweeping black sand beach here you can swim and enjoy an incredibly spectacular view of Tahiti's mountainous interior. It's very popular with locals at weekends and there is a fair amount of litter strewn around. It's also scorchingly hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this the Radisson that's in Arue? It's only 3-4 miles from Papeete? I heard the cab ride is $40 - $45 from the airport. Is this true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
