Muri Beach

  • August 13, 2003
  • Rated 5 of 5 by Sarah M from Leicester, United Kingdom
Muri Beach, is a stretch of pure paradise-like sand and water on the side of Muri lagoon. The clear water of the lagoon is shallow enough to walk half way to the small offshore islands on the other side. By swimming the rest, you can relax on your own island (bar the odd couple getting married), taking in a beautiful view of Muri beach and the mountainous rainforest of Rarotonga behind it.


The lagoon is perfect for snorkeling since there are an abundance of colourful tropical fish. Sails Sailing Club offers windsurfing, sailing, and canoeing, although these watersports do not spoil the tranquility of the lagoon.
There are also a couple of upmarket beach-side restaurants, perfect for a romantic meal overlooking the lagoon.

Muri Beach

  • October 6, 2002
  • Rated 3 of 5 by C_Wheel from Auckland, United Kingdom
Rarotonga island is enclosed by a coral lagoon creating shallow protected beaches all along the coast. The best of the beaches is Muri Beach. The water here is crystal clear and extremely shallow with white golden sand and palm trees.


There are a few small atolls in the lagoon. Captain Tamas' boats ferry people over there for a barbecue but its easy enough just to wade over there to explore. Wear beach sandals though as there are enough pieces of coral to cut your feet to shreds. There are a few fish in the lagoon but if you want to go snorkelling try further up the coast where there's more to see. The conditions of the beach make it a great place to try wind surfing and you can hire all the equipment here.
