Motu Iriru Beach & Snorkel
16° 47.6′ S · 151° 22.9′ W
A public motu on the south side of Iriru Pass, with white sand, clear water out to the reef, and weekend picnics with local families.
Practical
The brief notes that the motu across the pass from Tipaemau is public, with a festive atmosphere at weekends, and that snorkeling out to the reef is beautiful. Dinghy from the Tipaemau ZMR (5 boats). Stay well inside the pass when current or surf is running, and tow a snorkel buoy because lagoon traffic is heavy.
