Titikaveka Village and the South Coast

The South Coast of Rarotonga is the quietest stretch of coastline. There are some lovely deserted beaches here but only a few places to stay making it a good choice for those wanting to have the place for themselves. The prominent outcrop of rock known as "The Needle" can be seen from the coastal road along the South Coast of Rarotonga. Several tour guides take tourists into the rainforest for day hikes although reaching the needle has been made dangerous since part of the rock collapsed after heavy rains in 2001. About a ten-minute hike inland from the South Coast road is Papua waterfall. This is a great spot for swimming in the cool rain-filled pools beneath the waterfall. The waterfall is usually gushing between November and May but can dry up in the summer months. Mosquitoes are annoying here so bring insect repellent
