Fakarava

French Polynesia - Other French Polynesia Islands

It is easy not to notice the small, lovely islets forming a ring around the lagoon of Fakarava, the second-largest atoll in French Polynesia.

The lagoon draws your attention, and its beauty pulls you in like a magnet. There is a purity in the lagoon and quiet elegance of the marine life that live out their lives in the shallows near the shore. The world here seems flawless, and life in the small villages, with bougainvillea-lined roads, bright coral churches, quaint homes, boulangerie, snacks and restaurants, seem to hover above the clear waters surrounding this designated UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.
