"Sometimes all you want to do is relax with your toes in the sand, take an occasional dip in the clear blue water and then enjoy a casual lunch. If that's your idea of heaven, pack a towel and some sunscreen, tender into Vaitape and rent a scooter or bike or hire a taxi to bring you to Bora-Bora’s loveliest public beach. The sand is soft, the water is calm and the gorgeous InterContinental Le Moana Bora Bora Resort and a few small cafés are right nearby."

Absolutely stunning beach! Super blue water and perfect sand. It’s never too busy either. Plenty of food options nearby and parking is easy. Good snorkelling too - on the shallow light blue part there are always a few stingrays near the shore. And on the right in the darker blue area, good snorkelling (plenty of fish and I’ve seen eagle rays both times I went)

Beautiful beach! Great for laying out. Perfect spot to snorkel! Walking distance to a handful of great food options. There is a parking lot if you’re coming from the other side of the island. Ideal spot to catch the sunset. The picturesque landscape is not to be missed.

This is truly one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. White sands, turquoise water and gleaming sun, it can't be beaten. The current can be strong at times, but the water is crystal clear. It is a privilege to be able to visit this beach. There is a small parking lot which is where many of the friendly locals will come and park up on their lunch breaks to enjoy the beautiful scenery.

Beautiful beach. So comfortable to swim in. It's like a giant swimming pool. You can walk very far into the ocean and still be able to stand. Loved that! Sometimes snorkeling is fun too though not a lot of fish.

Matira Beach, or Plage de Matira, epitomizes paradise with its soft, powdery sand and crystal-clear turquoise waters. Stretching along the southern tip of Bora Bora, it's renowned as one of the world's most beautiful beaches. The gentle slope into the water makes it perfect for swimming and snorkeling, while the palm trees provide shade for those seeking refuge from the sun. Spectacular sunsets paint the sky in hues of orange and pink, creating a romantic atmosphere. While it can get crowded, especially during peak season, the natural beauty of Matira Beach is undeniable, making it a must-visit destination for anyone craving a slice of tropical heaven.

The only beach in Bora Bora and it is priceless 😁 white-sanded beach backed by Palm tree and lush vegetation. You'll see lots of fish and stingrays swimming close to the beach but snorkeling is the best way to discover the underwater sea life. The beach is public but it always feels like your own as not many people visit this piece of paradise. Sunsets are amazing and you can grab a cocktail at one of the few restaurants along the beach. If you are in Bora Bora do yourself a favor and visit Matira Beach 🌴⛱️ ☀️

Beautiful white sand beach where locals put down bait to attract manta rays. About 5 min swim you’ll see a very deep void in the ocean where corals grew (unfortunately they don’t look healthy) but nonetheless allow you to observe the sea-life as if you’re looking down into an aquarium. Recommend if you can’t get on a tour (ours was cancelled due to weather condition). There’s a public area near intercontinental where you can change, shower (indoor) and use the bathroom. It’s about 10 min walk away and also has limited picnic tables.
