The pearl-farm complex and private airstrip at Aratika's southern tip, the origin of the 'Aratika Perles' aerodrome.
Practical
Coordinate is the pearl-farm site mapped in OpenStreetMap beside the private airstrip. Private property: visit only by invitation. Treat the southern lagoon as pearl-farm water: give buoys and submerged long-lines a wide berth, and never anchor among them. Buy pearls only from registered sellers with a receipt.
