The Coral Coast begins 10 miles 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 to the luxury resorts and budget accommodations 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 including a village set up to cater for visitors. This is a wonderful area for family holidays as the diving is incredibly accessible and it is possible to enjoy two dives in the morning. A wide range of restaurants, shopping and excursions up the Sigatoka Valley to pottery villages and historic sites is available.
