Aukena is
located just few miles SE from Rikitea. There is some buildings on the coast
but when we visiting that place they where unfriendly (go away it’s privet).
Anyway
along the coast there is a beauty sand beach worth to visit. On the W corner
you can visit a ruins of church and uninhabited small village.
Drop the
anchor between corals about 0.2Mm from the cost. We did it on position 23 deg
07.512S and 134 deg 54.163W (sand, depth about 15m).
For crews
Dinghy landing on the beach, no problem with shallows on corals. Take a walk along the beach, swim, visit the ruins.
