The mairie (town hall), with the school and the health post next door, on Aratika's north motu. Report here and ask about moorings, water and supply-ship dates.

Practical

Coordinate is the mairie in OpenStreetMap; the 'Poste de santé' (health post) and school are adjacent. Hoodoo (Nov 2020) reported the mairie and OPT post office 'in the village by the town dock'. Confirm locally which settlement you're in. Aratika is attached administratively to Kauehi in the commune of Fakarava (2019 government sheet), with 225 people (2017 census). Communications: no wifi; weak 2G Vini good for email and WhatsApp (Ari B, Dec 2020). Not a port of entry.
