 Beqa Lagoon Travel Guide The large Beqa Lagoon lies about 20km off the main island of Viti Levu and is usually visible from Pacific Harbour. Beqa Island, almost circular in shape and 27km along its coast, rises to a high point of 439m and is inaccessible except by boat. There are some good scuba diving reefs on the west side of the island and game fishing is excellent all around the region with rich currents feeding the Beqa passage. Beqa is home to the famous Fiji firewalkers (villages of Rukua, Naceva and Dakuibeqa all on the south and western side of the island), who stroll across hot volcanic rocks without any harm to their feet (you'll see them perform at the large hotels on Viti Levu). Beqa Lagoon Accommodation Search The massive Beqa lagoon extends to the west where there are some world class surfing breaks including Frigates Passage with its left hander barrels. There is a surf camp on Yanuca Island - Batiluva Resort with dorms and private bures (no electricity or hot water). The beaches on Yanuca are lovely and deserted and there's great snorkelling offshore and excellent fishing. |
