Fiji's Coral Coast

The Coral Coast begins 15 kilometers south of Nadi town. A new highway runs past sugar cane fields and Caribbean pine plantations missing much of the coral beauty until it descends towards Yanuca island and one of Fiji's largest beach resorts, which is also the headquarters for the sole dive operator catering for the luxury resorts and budget accommodation places along this spectacular stretch of Fiji's principle island. Once past the small township of Sigatoka and the village of Korotogo, the highway joins the coast and runs beside the beautiful lagoon. There are 14 resorts, hotels and motels along the Coral Coast as well as budget places, including a village set up to cater for visitors.

A Tip on Shopping in Fiji

Shopping hours are Monday to Friday 8am-4:30pm. Saturdays from 8:30am-12 noon. Stores in town are generally closed on Saturday afternoon and Sunday, and some close daily during the lunch hour. Bargaining is still conducted in some of the duty free shops, but the larger stores have fixed prices. Tropical clothing, carved war clubs, woven mats and baskets, face masks, shell jewelery, straw hats, kava bowls, and tapa cloth, can all be purchased in town markets as well as many local villages. Fiji offers duty free shops in Nadi, on the Coral Coast and in Suva.
