Tetiaroa is a small atoll located to the north of Tahiti island in French Polynesia. This is almost an exact copy of the iconic Aitutaki atoll, but slightly smaller. All the views are very scenic. As for the
beaches, most of these are not good enough. However, this is quite typical for coral atolls, since bottom made of coral chips is not very comfortable. If The Brando Resort is too expensive for you, it is possible just to take daily lagoon tour from Tahiti to the atoll. You will visit the best motus, as well as sandbanks. So you will see all the best of Tetiaroa. Shore and seabed: sand, stones.
