silvanocat 22:48 UTC 08 May 2007 | The best Web sites for Cook Island information are www.ck</a> and the Official Cook Islands Tourism site. Be aware that Avarua is the village in Rarotonga. For someone seeking sand and beach that would not be the place to stay. Muri Beach is my favorite area but the beaches on the south side of the island are beautiful also. I have not been to Atiu, Mauke or Mitiaro. However, if you are seeking sand and beach check whether those islands have beaches. I was under the impression that they don't. | 6

If you decide on cook islands i recomend you jump on the bus and do a lap of the island, its cheap and you get to see where everything is. Its only about 30 k round the island so its not a big ride. | 7
