The water is shallow and the sand is finer and brighter than most beaches. The long beach is also the commercial centre of the island with prime hotels and resorts. There are a lot of shopping and eating places all along the beach.
Puka Beach is quieter than White beach but just as beautiful. It is an ideal retreat for tourists and a good spot for a picnic. The beach has some lovely puka shells which are used to make local jewellery. There are a couple of restaurants on the beach to cater to tourists. The water is a bit rougher here, so travelers need to be careful.
