THE PERFECT DAY AT Matira beach
Bora Bora's high season is from May to October, with minimal rain showers. However, this is also when more tourists are in the area. We recommend visiting in November and April as these shoulder seasons still offer great weather and fewer crowds. But honestly, any time of the year is great to visit Bora Bora. Matira Beach is a public beach with private beaches on each end, offering a long stretch of sand and lovely shade under the palm trees. As with almost every beach, we recommend getting there early for more privacy and space, and stay all day to enjoy one of the restaurants, as sunsets from Matira Beach are magical!
