Description
French Polynesia : sunset over Tikehau Pearl Beach water bungalows. Tikehau is a coral atoll in the Palliser Islands group, part of the Tuamotu Archipelago in French Polynesia. The nearest atoll is Rangiroa, only 12 kilometres (7.5 miles) to the east. The atoll's oval-shaped lagoon is 27 kilometres (17 miles) long and 19 kilometres (12 miles) wide, surrounded by an almost continuous coral reef. The only pass deep and wide enough for navigation is named Tuheiava Pass. The atoll is the coral outgrowth from the summit of a volcanic submarine mount which measures 1,750 meters from the ocean floor. Tikehau has the particularity of being an elevated atoll (the highest point is 10 meters above sea level). In 1987, Jacques-Yves Cousteau made one of his great expeditions to Tikehau. He defined the sea which surrounds this island as one of the most fish-rich in the world. The atoll's economy is based mainly on tourism, developed around the “Tikehau Pearl Beach” complex showed in this photograph.

Thank you very much Fernando!! The best part of this paradise is underwater! Manta rays, sharks (the only place where I had the chance to swim with Carcharhinus limbatus), turtles… such an incredible marine life!!
