Fiji: Sea, Sun and Sand
With more than 300 islands and 500 islets, the South Pacific nation of Fiji offers seemingly endless sea, sun and sand to the delight of vacationers.
 Many of the islands – such as Denarau, Kadavu, Taveuni, the Mamanuca Group and the Yasawa Group – feature palm-fringed beaches and spectacular scenery, both above and below the water. Some of the best diving and snorkeling in the South Pacific is found in Fiji, with beautiful reefs, colorful soft corals and exotic fish to view.
In addition to natural beauty, one of Fiji’s best features is its people – warm and friendly, they make visitors welcome at any time of year. The best time to visit is during the “Fijian winter,” May through October, which is also the islands’ dry season. During the wet season, November through April, the Mamanuca and Yasawa island groups are popular because they stay somewhat drier than the rest of the country.
 If you’d like to devote yourself to sun and sand while visiting Fiji, one of the numerous beach resorts will meet your needs. Some offer complete privacy, and others encourage dining and mingling with fellow guests.
If you’re interested in learning more about Fijian life, consider visiting the main island of Viti Levu. The island has the capital city of Suva, which is home to 75 percent of the country’s population. Here, you can visit the Fiji Museum in beautiful Thurston Gardens, take in a concert at the Civic Auditorium or watch rugby at the National Stadium. Viti Levu is a large enough island to have distinct rainy and dry sides. Suva in on the wet side, so consider taking accommodations in the dry-side beach town of Nadi or the connected island of Denarau.
