Ring Lost at Temae Beach?
Moorea's Longest White-Sand Beach — Recovery Across Sofitel Kia Ora and the Airport-Side Strip.
Temae Beach is the longest white-sand beach on Moorea — a curving 2km strip on the island's eastern side, anchored by the Sofitel Kia Ora Moorea Beach Resort and running through public-access sections to the Moorea Airport's coastal edge. Unlike Moorea's volcanic black-sand bays, Temae has imported-quality white coral sand that makes it the island's most photographed beach and a popular sunset spot. Ring Seekers Temae works the entire strip including the Sofitel motu (Motu Temae) and the public-access central section.
Service Across Temae and Eastern Moorea
