Sigatoka Sand Dunes:
The Sigatoka Sand Dunes are located directly west of the mouth of the Sigatoka River the second largest river in Fiji. According to research, the dunes are the product of fluvial erosion in the coastal hinterland and coastal dune forming processes. The extensive dune system covers an area of 650 hectares and comprises a series of parabolic sand dunes of various ages and activities.
Passing years have seen various groups of scientists and researchers alike, combing the dunes for evidence of ancient living. Many successful in the process, and have contributed to the credibility of the dunes as a major historical attraction. The Dunes are the location of one of Fiji`s earliest recorded prehistoric sites. Evidence of the past is clearly visible throughout the dune system as pottery scatters, stone tools & mechanisms, human remains and other archaeological relics continue to be unearthed by natural processes.
It is definitely recommended to reach the sand dune before 11:00 AM or after 15:00 PM since this dark yellow sand get extremely hot at noon time, we arrived at 11:00 approx and got our feet burned like hell, but the scenery was well worth it.
Natadola Beach:
Natadola Beach has been consistently ranked within the world's Top Beaches, by well traveled visitors and travel destination critics.
While we arrived there we had no clue what the hell is everyone talking about ... the beach was an OK beach and nothing more, it wasn't as spectacular as people say, the sand was not so white-yellow sand, it was very dirty by sea-weeds, the water are not crystal clear as we thought it would, there were no palm trees nor coconut trees, at the bottom line it was nothing special and we left this place with a big disappointment.
Have fun,
Efrat and Yoni.
