Fiji Beach Travel Tips

By Matt Link

When planning a beach getaway to Fiji, remember that summer is from November through April, when the weather is warmer and more humid.
July and August are when Fiji’s beaches are the busiest, as it’s the drier season when Australians and New Zealanders visit during their own winter holidays. Also, book ahead for July’s Bula Festival in Nadi on Viti Levu—the town explodes with parades, music, and cultural demonstrations.
Fiji’s trade winds usually blow from the east, bringing more moisture and rain to the eastern sides of each island. Thus, west coast beaches tend to be sunnier and are also where you’ll find the greatest concentration of resorts.
Ask any local which island has the best beaches in Fiji and they’ll invariably point you to Yasawa Island, the northernmost island in the Yasawa chain.

Beach Overview: Fiji

By Matt Link

The perfect setting for a Blue Lagoon holiday (both the 1949 and 1980 movie versions were shot in Fiji), this postcard-ready South Pacific archipelago encompasses over 300 islands. It's estimated that over a third of Fiji's isles are uninhabited, and 87 percent of the country’s population inhabit only two of them (Viti Levu and Vanua Levu). That all adds up to an incredible array of remote, empty, and palm-lined beaches for a die-hard beach lover to choose among. Water sports are also the great attraction here: swim, surf, snorkel, kayak—and especially scuba—to your heart's content. Share the waters with soft corals, manta rays, and hundreds of different kinds of fish in a spectacular underwater show. Inland, the islands are smothered with emerald rainforest, extinct volcanic craters, and giant waterfalls. Read More
