Guide to French Polynesia

map
Located about midway between California and Australia, in the Pacific Ocean, the archipelago of French Polynesia encompasses around 130 scattered islands, comprising the Marquesas, Society, Tuamotu, Gambier, Austral and Bess groups. The French-speaking islands have a total population of 267,000 people, and their capital is Papeete, located on the island of Tahiti. Some indelibly beautiful highlights include the luxury resort and beaches of Bora Bora and the exemplary scuba diving in Rangiroa, where swimmers can spot stingrays, bottle nosed dolphins and sea turtles.
