Fiji Surfing Travel Tips

By Matt Link
  • Fiji is a little tricky as a surf destination, since the majority of the islands are surrounded by coral reefs. Fiji’s excellent reef breaks can be fun, but they’re not for novice surfers: A wipeout here can be a skin-shredding experience.
  • Fiji’s best-known surf spots are Frigate Passage in the Beqa Lagoon and Cape Washington on Kadavu.
  • Fiji’s surf season runs from April to October, when humidity and rains are less pronounced and the waves are higher, although quality surf can be found year-round.

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
