Tahiti – Pointe Venus (Mahina)
Ring Gone Missing at Pointe Venus?
Captain Cook's Anchor Bay — Recovery on Mahina's Historic Black-Sand Cape.
Pointe Vénus (Pointe Venus) sits on Tahiti's northern point in Mahina, where Captain Cook anchored in Matavai Bay in 1769 to observe the transit of Venus — the moment that gave the cape its name. Today the point is a public park with a black-sand beach, the white Pointe Vénus lighthouse, picnic lawns, and one of Tahiti's most popular surf spots. Ring Seekers Pointe Venus covers the public beach, the lighthouse-park lawns, the Matavai Bay coast, and the surf-zone sand entry.
Wherever You Lost It in Pointe Venus and Mahina
Pointe Vénus is reached via the round-island coastal road north from Papeete — about 20–25 minutes by car. The cape is a public park with free access, a small parking area, and a path leading to the lighthouse and the beach.
Coverage extends to Pointe Vénus's main beach, the lighthouse park lawns, the Matavai Bay sand stretching west toward Pirae, and the surf-zone sand at the cape's eastern face.
Response time: a few hours from Papeete.
