The small harbour at Avatoru village by the western pass, with a garbage point for yachts and the village shops, bank and churches a short walk away.

Practical

Coordinate is the Avatoru harbour/marina area in OpenStreetMap. Dinghy approach: go around the south buoy to the west and follow the short marked channel; expect chop and current from the pass. A garbage bin at the pier is labelled for yachts ('Voilier') (compendium). The municipal dock in the pass can take a yacht for a few hours in an emergency or to load heavy items; ask the mairie first.
