this is the coral garden beach at sofitel hieva the resort. some rich people booked the entire resort during the x'mas new year's break so you have to sneak in there. a few other tourists like me sneaked in there too because it has one of the most accessible coral gardens for snorkeling. there were horses in the water taking a bath! i think the horses are owned by the resort for guest use. pretty tough being a horse in huahine!
