One of the most famous beaches in Tahiti is the Lafayette beach, located on the less crowded Eastern coast of Tahiti and facing the Matavi Bay. Lafayette is one of the best black sand beaches in Tahiti, hosting the lovely Radisson Plaza resort.

Another great beach is the Papeno beach, located in the North coast, is again a black sand beach. Since you will find more turbulent waters here, it is a beach preferred by many surfers, so if you're not into surfing you should be careful when visiting it.

There are also white sand beaches in Tahiti; one of the greatest is the Plage de Toaroto, situated on the western coast, near the Meridien hotel. It is a great beach for snorkeling, because the water is rather shallow and marine life is abundant here.

The beach offers many opportunities to have fun, and there is also a great restaurant located right on the beach, called Le Carre. The restaurant offers a magnificent view and very tasty food, and the wooden deck makes the whole experience marvelous.

The Pirae beach is situated on the eastern coast, it is a black sand beach and it is located near the Royal Tahitian Hotel, so if you don't really want to travel extensively from your hotel to the beach, you could get accommodation there.
