Uturoa Municipal Market

16° 43.8′ S · 151° 26.6′ W

Uturoa's covered market in the centre of town: fish, fruit, vegetables and, upstairs, handicrafts. Go early for the best produce.

Practical

Fresh fish, fruit and vegetables, with handicraft stalls on the upper level (brief). The Dream Yacht guide lists Wi-Fi at the market. Market fish is the safe choice; ciguatera is present in some Leeward lagoons. For pastries, the brief recommends Bakery 'Bon-apetahi' in Uturoa. Roadside fruit and vegetable stands are common around the island.
