Pouheva Pier Beach (Makemo)
16° 37.6′ S · 143° 34.3′ W · approximate
A small sandy beach on the far side of the village pier, where local spearfishers clean their catch and kids swim.
Practical
Approximate: placed just west of the main quay near Hamble Warrior's position (16°37.660S / 143°34.276W); confirm on arrival. Hamble Warrior (July 2023) reached it by kayak under the pier, which meant lying flat at high tide; walking round is easier. Expect sharks to come in when fish are cleaned here, especially around dusk. Keep clear when the supply ship is manoeuvring.
Best for
A quick swim and watching the evening catch come in
