Avalau Island (aka Ovalau) (Vava’u, Tonga)

October 17, 2012

Right near Mounu Island is another small island called either Avalau or Ovalau, depending on which source you consult. This is another cruiser favorite, and it’s easy to see why with its perfect white sand beach and bright blue water.

We were very tempted to stop here but decided to keep going as we were hoping for a good spot to snorkel and had our eye on Anchorage 16. Looking at the pictures now I think we should have stayed! Oh well. -Cyndi
