SURFING
Surfing in Tarawa and Gilbert Islands is not as consistent as in the Line Islands, nevertheless it offers quality surf when all the conditions are right. The Gilbert chain is more suited therefore for longer term visitors that have a bit more time and flexibility to catch the surf when it is “on.”
