Matira Snack Bars

16° 32.1′ S · 151° 44.4′ W

The cluster of casual snacks and roulottes around Matira Beach, where you eat poisson cru with your feet in the sand after a swim at Bora Bora's best public beach.

Practical

Snack Matira, at the north end of the beach, phone +689 40 67 77 32 (Tahiti Tourisme pin, used here). Roulotte Matira and Roulotte Loma near Matira Point, Moi Here, and the Bora Bora Beach Club restaurant (with its free 10 m Operation Bobcat mural) are mapped along the same stretch (OSM). Hours vary; many close one day a week, and a 2019 cruiser found the local snack closed on a Monday. Dinghy from the Povai mooring zone or walk about 20 minutes south from the old Bloody Mary's site.
