	Local Travel Tips

Beqa (pronounced Mbengga) lies 7.5 km south of Navua, the closest town on the Fiji main island of Viti Levu, separated by a 260 m deep marine passage. The entire Beqa Island covers 36 km2.

There is a fringing reef around the island and the barrier reef (68 km) around the lagoon of Beqa. They are both made up of colourful coral developed over hundreds of years.

The conditions for coral reef are excellent: light and shallow water, water temperatures never below 18°C and supply of zooplancton food for these plant-like animals.

Beqa Lagoon is know worldwide for the brilliance and abundance of soft coral gardens and gorgonian forests, abundant fish and marine life all found in this natural unspoiled environment.
