A sacred site wrapped in tropical beauty, Pu‘a Vai Beach lies along the Saua Trail on Ta‘ū Island. Named after the freshwater spring once flowing here, this spot holds deep cultural meaning in the story of Tagaloa, who placed the first humans near springs. Today, it’s a peaceful beach perfect for cooling off after a hike. Mid-tide offers the best snorkelling conditions, while the small pyramid of stones at the clearing marks this unique and memorable stop.
