Parea

Huahine Iti, French Polynesia

🪸Sharp reef

YouTubeWatch on YouTube CustomizeCustomize this spot

Parea is a more mellow reef break on southern Huahine Iti, offering an intermediate-friendly alternative to the intense Fare passes in the north. A right-hander that catches S-SW swells, it's popular with hotel guests and visiting surfers looking for quality waves without the heavy localism of Fare. Beautiful setting on the quieter half of Huahine.
