Maupiti atoll

Maupiti is an atoll in French Polynesia being a smaller copy of Bora Bora, but without luxury overwater bungalows. Beaches are good enough, but not very comfortable, - that is quite typical for all coral atolls. In fact, it is a great place with a low key atmosphere. It is better to spend at least a few days here, but a week or even two weeks will be the best! Shore and seabed: sand, stones. [edit]
