It’s sandy and relatively shallow inside the reef, the image is heavily edited making it hard to tell where the beach ends and water starts. There’s often dolphins feeding/playing in the opening of the reef, tour boats feeding sharks/rays near the top of the image and some artist communities on the atoll on the left of the image.

I sailed there in 2018.

I was backpacking and surfing through the south Pacific in the 80s and wound up on Bora Bora and somehow scored a fare on the beach at Bloody Marys for next to nothing when they were closed. My girlfriend and I were the only guests except for the always drunk American fisherman who lived on his fishing boat there. Think his name was Leo. We'd swim with mantas right off their dock. Things have changed since then I imagine.

I, too, want to be part of an artist community and for tourists to feed me.

You can be a dolphin when you grow up if you study hard
