In 1991, this was named America’s best beach; that 15 minutes of fame turned into steady popularity. The two reefs that form the bay also form a shelter; the water is always gentle. This makes the beach an excellent place for snorkelling, especially for beginners and kids.

Though there’s not much to do here, the sight itself is impressive enough for a 15-minute detour from wherever it was you were going to. Word of warning – there’s a golf course nearby, and there’s a chance that...Read more -
A simple, uncrowded, windy, quarter mile beach. The word Oneloa means ‘long sands’. Don’t be turned off by the reef at the eastern end (it’s a common misconception that the reef stretches the whole length of the beach; it’s probably why the beach is usually empty). The far west end of the beach has a nice sandy bottom and is good for swimming. When the sea is calm,...Read more -

A short walk from the village centre will take you to the trail head. Ask for directions, though the way is easy to find.

The two loops together make up six routes. The trails run through what used to be the village golf c...Read more -
