Aroa beach

Outdoors · Oceania › Cook Islands › Rarotonga › Arorangi › Aroa beach

The west coast is where the sun goes down and Aroa is where I kept ending up to watch it. Shallow, calm, coral rubble underfoot rather than pure sand, and a reef line close enough in that the water inside it barely moves. I have eleven photographs of one sunset here and I am not sorry about any of them. Bring reef shoes and go about an hour before it drops.
