Pea - small Easter Island beach in town center

Hanga Roa’s in-town pocket beach—steps from Atamu Tekena, with surf entry points to Papa and Hava reefs.

The beach Pea (pronounced pe-a, with the same 'e' as in "error") isn't much compared to the tropical beach of Anakena, but for its accessibility it's still a popular place, as it is right below the center of the only Easter Island town Hanga Roa.

Many wave surfers enter the ocean from beach Pea, as the two waves Papa and Hava break just in front of the beach, 250 m into the ocean.

The best part of beach Pea is the location. From the central market in the main street Atamu Tekena it's a couple of minutes walk down towards the ocean. The tourist information office is just on the other side of the street. There's a restaurant just by the beach bearing the same name as the beach; Pea. The ice-cream bar of the restaurant is quite popular. A good restaurant nearby is La Kaleta (the last building in the small harbor close by).

A more secluded alternative to Pea would be Poko-Poko.
