Beach overall scores
One Foot Island (Cook Islands) is located outside the Tautu settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the coast of the Aitutaki island and the correct question is not how to get to One Foot Island, but what mode of transport can be used to get to it, because this part of the coast is inaccessible by land. The beach can only be reached by water and you have to rent a boat to get there.
User reviews
"As we embarked on our island adventure, we made a pit stop at this picturesque beach for some refreshing dips and a scrumptious meal. We indulged in the island's beauty, relishing in the sight of the colossal clams and basking in the warm sun. And to top it off, we even got our passports stamped, making this beach visit all the more memorable."

"I had the pleasure of stumbling upon this beach during my mediocre Vaka cruise, and I must say, the views were tolerable. The snorkelling areas were passable, but nothing to write home about. If you're feeling particularly adventurous, you can even get your passport stamped for an exorbitant fee of $2 NZD. Overall, a satisfactory experience, but nothing to rave about."
