The vast majority of Cook Islands beaches have the necessary amenities, such as sun loungers, umbrellas, beach cafes, showers and toilets.
Dozens of beaches in Cook Islands attract every year not only relaxation lovers but also those travelers who prefer outdoor activities and, first of all snorkeling lovers, kayakers, sup boarders.
So, let's see what activities you can do on the beaches:
I had an absolutely incredible time snorkeling at the beach. The location is marked by a small Palm Tree and a Water Faucet, where you can rinse off your feet before heading out on your adventure. As you make your way towards the reef, you'll be amazed by the vast array of coral formations that you'll encounter. Keep going until you reach the spot where the coral is at its most magnificent, and you'll know it when you see it - you'll be surrounded by a plethora of fish and large, stunning coral formations. The water was about 5 feet deep when I was there, although I'm not sure what the tide status was at the time. All in all, it was an unforgettable experience that I would recommend to anyone who loves the ocean and its wonders.
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.
This beach is absolutely breathtaking and is perfect for taking a dip or exploring the underwater world with your snorkel gear. Additionally, the sand is a beautiful white color and has a fine texture.
This stunning shoreline boasts a tranquil and expansive atmosphere, in contrast to the bustling Muri. It's important to note that during high tide, the beach may appear to vanish, so it's wise to exercise caution.
The beach is absolutely stunning with its pristine white sand and scattered pebbles. I would love to visit this serene and peaceful location someday.
Finding a restaurant in Cook Islands is easy enough, many of them are located close to the beaches. Each is good in its way and has a certain charm. You can find out more about nearby food outlets on beach pages.
Finding hotels in relative proximity to the beaches is usually fine. Many beaches have enough nearby accommodation, which gives good opportunities to choose the right place to stay.
And, probably, the most popular question among travelers: “What sights of Cook Islands can be found relatively close to the beaches?” It is impossible to list all of them, there are a lot of attractions. So you will find where to go!
