Paea is a commune in the suburbs of Papeete in French Polynesia, an overseas territory of France in the southern Pacific Ocean. Paea is located on the island of Tahiti, in the administrative subdivision of the Windward Islands, themselves part of the Society Islands.
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 Polynesian explorers. Captain James Cook had arrived in 1769. Paea was part of the Kingdom of Tahiti until France claimed the islands of French Polynesia.
