Ovahe

This small cove features turquoise waters and pink sand, formed by the mixture of red volcanic material and eroded white coral fragments.

Archaeological excavations near the beach have revealed ancient ceremonial crematoriums and human remains dating back more than 200 years within the cliff walls.

The beach holds particular importance to Rapa Nui families who gather here during weekends, maintaining their connection to traditional coastal gathering places.

The beach lacks facilities and lifeguards, requiring visitors to bring necessary supplies and exercise caution due to strong currents and waves.

Natural erosion processes regularly expose archaeological artifacts along the shore, including skeletal remains from ancient burial sites in the surrounding cliffs.
