Tahiti's west coast freeway runs through Paea and ends in Teahupoo down south. Going northbound would take drivers toward Papeete.
The area of Paea was first settled by travelers from Asia. Captain James Cook had arrived later on. Paea was part of the Kingdom of Tahiti until France claimed the islands of French Polynesia. The Faaa International Airport was built in 1962 and opened later on. The now defunct Air Moorea crashed while it was flying to Moorea. Close to where the crash site is a rock with all the names of the people.
Moorea is north of Paea and is seen as a gray mound sticking out of the Pacific Ocean. Mount Orohena is a major mountain nearby 7,330 feet tall.
