The main town on Bora Bora is Vaitape. It’s about a 15-minute walk down a rather busy street. We’d brave the walk to get to town, but we would almost always take a cab or get a ride to go back.
The town is not particularly attractive, but it does have a couple of decent-sized markets. A few minutes north of town is the other yacht club, the Mai Kai. Attached to this is a nice restaurant with what was rumored to be a great happy hour. We never made it down for the happy hour, but we did enjoy a couple of decent cappuccinos there.
We did have a favorite eatery in town: the St. James. The food was wonderful . . . a splurge . . . but wonderful. I would say it was our favorite restaurant in all of French Polynesia.
