By far the most popular of all the many becahes of Rarotonga is this beautiful lagoon.
Muri Beach is situated on the south-eastern coast of the island, sweeping in a small arch for about one kilometre and is backed by palm and ironwood trees. Perfect for many aquatic activities, it also faces four uninhabited islands within the reef and has a lovely shallow lagoon for swimming (it's possible to wade across to two of these islands).
Muri Lagoon is the centre of water activities on the island and is the chosen spot for those who wish to take their families to a place which is safe for swimming. You can rent paddle boats and catamarans or take wind surfing lessons or even go para-surfing. You can also hire snorkelinging gear & kayaks from Muri Beach Club Hotel www.muribeachclubhotel.com
There are a number of restaurants, clubs and bars overlooking the beach where you can relax and enjoy the scenery. Muri Beach is now quite developed with small beach bungalows sitting side by side and it can be crowded (for the Cook Islands) on weekends. A safe excellent swimming spot!
