Fakarava, French Polynesia
While Tahiti, Bora Bora and Moorea get all the attention, their neighbor, Fakarava, is a Polynesian delight surrounded by a protected coral reef and blue lagoons. The island, declared a nature reserve, is so remote its pink-sand beaches rarely appear on maps. It is inhabited, with just over 800 people living in small villages scattered around the island.

Quote from "Tales of the South Pacific" by James A. Michener American Author 1907-1997
I wish I could tell you about the South Pacific. The way it actually was. The endless ocean. The infinite specks of coral we called islands. Coconut palms nodding gracefully toward the ocean. Reefs upon which waves broke into spray, and inner lagoons, lovely beyond description.
