We visited this little hidden jewel on our way to Anakena, which is more developed and has restaurants and bathrooms. Ovahe is just the beach, surrounded by rocks, so it's a little difficult to access. If you are lucky when you visit and there's no one else, you can have your own private beach, as it happened to us. Beautiful experience.

This beach is right next to Anakena, and I am not sure why you would go here. We were directed here for snorkeling. It was seriously hairy getting to the beach climbing over rocks (fortunately the surf was very calm, or it would have been dangerous). The snorkeling was just as good at Anakena, and at Anakena there is much more sand, a beautiful temple, and services. Stopping for a view from the top is pretty, but use Anakena for your beach activities. The sand beach is pretty small here, and with a few visitors it really filled up.

This beach is closed now and it's impossible to get there, because all the sand is washed out. Maybe it will be reopened after some reconstruction work (there was a plate saying it)!

We were on our way to Anakena and stopped here for a bit. There are no bathrooms or services of any kind, so it's not a place to spend the day. The color of the water is gorgeous and there is a bit of shade provided by the cliffs. The path to the beach is a little rocky and muddy, so if mobility is an issue just skip this and go straight to Anakena.

Near from Anakena, is a good place to visit. You can see the colour of the water and the volcanic rocks. Currently is not fully access the beach, but you can see it from the access.

One of the two sandy beaches on the northeast coast - Ovahe is reputedly the best beach in 'the world' - it was so tiny but pretty I guess. It was hard to see if it was the best through the rain... But even with the rain on this last day of October there were four hearty souls swimming here - I wasn't one of them. Looks like it would get morning sun so maybe would be good to come here after getting the sunrise shots at Anakena just a few km down the road. If you have enough time come here, if short on time then please skip it and just focus on those amazing ahu and moai.

Easter Island is not a place you visit because of the beauty of the beaches - it is after all a volcanic island. Play Ovahe is one of two 'sand' beaches on the island. It is quite small & at times when the tide is in you cannot fully access the beach. Beautiful & wild, it is definitely worth a visit!

Looked nothing like the picture- the guide told us that the sand had been washed away and maybe the tide was high as well. This beach was absolutely tiny. Beautiful location, but not good as a beach for swimming and sunbathing.

The cove lost any sun after 3 pm. It is easily accessible through the main road, short dirt road which is not signposted. There is a sign which says 'do not swim' - but it is part of the wild coast so don't expect any swimming guard there. Be aware of rocks falling on top of your head due to erosion ! We went in mid August and the water was too cold to jump in - the previous day it was very windy although sunny and we were alerted on Anakena beach of rare blue jelly fish in the water. Still, very beautiful if you can have it to yourself !

If the tide is in, it's almost impossible to reach this sandy beach. From the cliff it was beautiful, but we couldn't reach the shore.
