The Quay, Papeete

Yachts and boats from the whole world come here between April and September, and resident vessels are accosted here all year long. On the other side of the port is Motu Uta, which was a small, unique island of the Queen Pomare years ago but is now home to pontoon bridges and warehouses of Papeete's shipping port. The boats at the quay are one of the best tourist attractions. Most of the day, people walk by slowly and admire the many ports of call for the boats tied to the quay. You will often see tourists taking pictures of their significant others with the boats in the background.
