along the Coral Coast stretch, so even
those just driving through will be able to
enjoy this lovely area.
Some 30 kilometres west of Suva is
Pacific Harbour. The scenic two-hour
drive from the International Airport in Nadi
will bring you to this region which joins the
easternmost fringe of the Coral Coast. A
charming city and stunning beaches await
visitors to the area, with plenty of sporting
opportunities on offer as well.
Pacific Harbour was originally established
in the 1970s as a recreation oriented,
residential community as well as a resort
area. Here groups can arrange a visit
to the Arts Village Cultural Centre and
Marketplace for special performances,
as well as demonstrations of handicraft
making techniques.
Not too far from Pacific Harbour is the
legendary Beqa Island, home of the
Fijian fire walkers who perform their
ceremonies at several major Fijian hotels
and resorts.
