Learn MoreKanokupolu Beach
Kanokupolu Beach, located just south of Ha’afatu Beach on Tongatapu, is a picturesque stretch of white sand that has resiliently recovered from the 2022 tsunami. Ideal for leisurely walks and snorkelling at high tide (though the coral is still rejuvenating), this beach also offers a chance to spot breaching whales off the coast between July and October. Its serene atmosphere makes it a wonderful spot for those seeking tranquillity and natural beauty.
Highlights
- Pristine white sand beach
