Although Moorea's lagoon is protective and inviting the regular beaches tend to be small and white but strewn with odd coral fragments except for those belonging to pricey hotels that are bigger and carefully manicured. Due to the humid climate moisture gathers above the inland hills as damp winds rise, so cloudy peaks are frequent, even in summertime, on tropical islands.
And a far less attractive but still fun tourist hired kayak in Cook's Bay, the staggeringly beautiful place where Captain Cook first anchored.
