Tuamotu/Fakarava: Garuae Pass Land’s End

If you ride your bike all the way east, after 10km you come to land’s end at the Garaue Pass. The pass is over one kilometer wide and the entire length of it from the ocean to the lagoon is all broken coral brought and deposited here by constant currents. In fact, seven different ocean currents converge on the pass, making it one of the best diving and snorkeling destinations in the world (next post).
