Hi All
We have booked our holiday for Rarotonga from 03 August to 12 August. There are currently 5 of us going and we have 4 beds left in the house we have rented so we have decided to see if anyone else wants to get out of winter and join us in what sounds like paradise
Here is some information on the place we are going...
'Muri Beach sits on a picturesque location on the east coast of Rarotonga. Muri's attraction is the tranquil
sandy bottom lagoon which is excellent for swimming, its lovely sweeping beach and four uninhabited islets within the lagoon. This is the
place to go for water activities (sailing, kayaking, wind-surfing and even
kite-surfing) and there's a beach bar and restaurant at the Sailing Club to sip beers and watch people. The only drawback (apart from lack of seclusion) is the
wind tends to pick up in the afternoon and, being on the east side of the island, the sun disappears late afternoon.
It's easy to wade (or kayak) across to the uninhabited islets at both low and high tide and spend a day relaxing on the quiet beach and looking back towards the mountains of Rarotonga. Snorkelling in the lagoon is good only for marine life -
there's no coral here and the lagoon is
only waist deep in most places'And the wind
