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.
