Create an itinerary including Ovahe

One of the island's only beaches, Ovahe stands out with its soft sands and relative lack of visitors. Head for the secluded spot and kick back on the fine, almost pink-colored sands that blanket the area, surrounded by towering cliffs of black volcanic rock. Look carefully and you'll even be able to spot the caves that dot the cliffs, supposedly once home to some of the island's residents. Keep in mind that though the blue water looks inviting, swimming here can be dangerous due to unpredictable tides and rip currents. Make your Hanga Roa itinerary with Klarna Trips to find out what to see and where to go.

I had a rental vehicle and drove to this beach first. Free parking in the lot and about a 10 min. walk down to the beach. Pure paradise-super clear water in an amazing setting. Hardly anyone...

Incredible beach, more secluded than Anakena.

Very small beach next to tall cliffs and a couple of small caves. Get there early because the sun is gone by 3:00pm due to the cliffs behind the beach. Also, during high tide the beach almost disappears. Great place for snorkeling.

Awesome little cliff-side beach. Great for snorkeling and not too busy as most people either don't know it's there or can't find it because it's not signposted. You need to climb over some very rough volcanic rocks to get to it but it's well worth it!

Super nice laguna where you can also swim and snorchel at a sandy beach. It's a long way from Hanga Roa but it's worth it.

Not sure about the pink sand, but this is a great spot for a swim! It’s much quieter than the beach around the corner so you can chill out and enjoy the crystal clear water in peace.
