Mana Island
Mana is a tiny 1.2 kilometer long island within Fiji’s Mamanuca archipelago, with three beautiful beaches, tropical gardens and a beautiful lagoon in the middle. All the beaches on Mana Island boast turquoise waters with great visibility, which is why snorkeling off the beach is a must-do activity. The islands' shape makes it perfect for water activities right off the beach. For the quietest beach, head to North Beach.
North Beach on Mana Island offers travelers a stunning view over a couple of uninhabited islets and heading around to Sunset Beach will allow you to do some more water sports and enjoy one of the most beautiful sunsets in Fiji.
Mana Island will make you feel like you are truly in the middle of Fiji’s beautiful tropical islands and you should not leave before taking a snorkel/dive trip around the island or a short hike up to the viewpoint.
