Huahine is one of the Leeward Islands, within the Society Islands, in French Polynesia. The island covers 74.8 sq km (28.9 sq mi) and has a population of about 6,000 (2011 estimate). It measures 16 km (9.9 mi) across and has a width of 13 km (8.1 mi).

Huahine comprises not one, but two islands close together, with coral reef surrounding them. The two islands are called Huahine Nui (Big Huahine) to the north and Huahine Iti (Little Huahine) to the south. During low tide, a sand spit emerge to link them. To establish a permanent link, a bridge has been built to connect the two islands.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
