About this site
Tetiaroa is an atoll in the Society Islands of French Polynesia, north of Tahiti, once the private retreat of Marlon Brando and now home to a small resort. West Point sits on the atoll's outer reef, where the fringing coral drops toward open Pacific water. Turipaoa is the atoll's main islet and the usual departure point for boats heading out to the surrounding dive sites.
