About

Beautiful. Let people know you're there or surf with a partner. There is like any healthy reef a few sharks cruising around. Do not go here alone. Its extremely remote. Nearest clinic is in Buariki. Pray you never have to go there.

You must note however that this the beach from which to embark is privately owned and as such should be treated as such.  The owners do not mind people visiting Naa so long as all rubbish is taken away.  Enjoy!

Atmosphere:
Crystal clear, absolutely pristine. Even locals don't live there. Respect the spot. Don't f--k with it! Naa is the northernmost tip of Tarawa. There is also a good spear fishing spot for dinner just on the other side of Naa. Waves Typically come from the N-NE as a result the west reef is typically like glass. Fantastic place to spearfish or just fish. little hike from land through lagoon to reef. Maybe 5 mins. There is occasionaly waves on this side. I lived at Naa for 2 years and saw waves here only a few times.

Additional Info:
Great right point. Swells that smack the barrier reefs bend around the point in a pristine setting. Absolute world class potential when on. High tide only, exposed coral heads otherwise. Occasionally This break can give an extremely long wave. I once saw a friend while I was on the beach ride for a good few minutes on the same wave.
