Coral Coast
The Coral Coast is a stunning 80km stretch of coastline between Sigatoka and Suva, on the southern shores of the main island of Viti Levu. Lined with sleepy villages, unspoilt beaches and the sandy hills of the Sigatoka Sand Dunes National Park, the Coral Coast offers a wide variety of cultural activities and fun outdoor activities for everyone.
Look out for village roadside stalls selling seasonal fruit or local hot corn. Many of the beaches offer serene, crystal clear swimming conditions perfect for families with young children. If you surf, you can be lucky enough to catch a wave when conditions are right.
WHERE?
Hugging Viti Levu’s southern coast, the Coral Coast’s brilliant palm-lined beaches and sparkling fringing reefs can be reached on a 1-2-hour drive from Nadi.
HOW TO GET THERE?
