Slip off your flip-flops as they're called here and feel the endlessly fine sand sliding between your toes. Close your eyes, breathe in the softness that envelops you, sweet Huahine, and particularly **Avea Bay**. There's a hotel I know, **the Relais Mahana,** with "deluxe beach" bungalows facing the ocean on the bay's most beautiful beach. In the evening, sailors moor in front of the hotel and dine at the hotel's Tenahe restaurant; it's true the decor is somewhat kitsch, with slightly old-fashioned rattan chandeliers, but the view of the **Pacific** is stunning. In the morning, the boats have often already departed, take a dip to see the little fish swarming around me, provided I have a piece or two of bread; it's best not to swim barefoot (as elsewhere in the Pacific) and especially not here if you don't want your toes to encounter the slimy mass of sea cucumbers, a type of invertebrate mollusc that teems in the area. The island's vegetation is a green like nowhere else, piercing, as if the flora wanted to break the silence reigning over this island by bursting with its colours.
