Barraque Vaima BBQ Snack (Makemo)

16° 37.4′ S · 143° 34.4′ W · approximate

More bar than snack: a late-night barbecue shack at the bridge between Opareke and Tamara motus that you can reach by dinghy up the channel.

Practical

Approximate: placed in Pouheva village ashore of the village anchorage (Soggy Paws waypoint 16°37.6S / 143°34.3W) and west of the lighthouse (16°37'14"S / 143°34'08"W, French Wikipedia); the exact building is not geolocated in any source, so walk from the dinghy dock using the directions here. Placed toward the Opareke and Tamara bridge, east along the main road. Hours (Soggy Paws, undated): Mon-Sat 7pm-2am. Take the dinghy up the 'river' (the channel between motus) and tie to a tree or beach it. Hours: verify locally.
