Bikini Beach, located on the island of Tarawa in Kiribati, is a small atoll that has gained popularity for its pristine beaches and crystal-clear waters.
The beach gets its name from the US military's use of the nearby lagoon as a bombing range during World War II. The 'bikini' refers to the swimsuits worn by the female lifeguards stationed on the island.
One of the unique features of Bikini Beach is its coral reef, which is home to an incredible array of marine life.
The beach is also known for its picturesque sunsets and tranquil atmosphere, making it a perfect spot for relaxation and rejuvenation.
Bikini Beach is accessible by air or sea, with regular flights and boat services available from Tarawa Island.
Visitors can also take a scenic flight over the atoll for a bird's-eye view of the beach and surrounding islands.
