Nananu-i-ra Places of Interests
Mile Long Beach & Lomanisue Bay Situated on the east side of the island is Mile Long Beach, which is just what the name implies. Although it may be windy in the afternoon it is a fantastic beach with great views of a Fijian sunrise. Also a good spot to snorkel. It is sometimes called Lomanisue Beach, after the Bay that is formed by the crescent-shape of the bay. If you wish to walk along the beach it is best to avoid high tide as the high water mark is quite high.
Sunset Point A short hike south from the beach and accommodations at Wainimdovo Bay brings you to Sunset Point. A great spot to be as the sun is setting over the ocean. Spectacular views of the beach, bay, Viti Levu coastline (mainland) and other islands, as well as the fringing coral reefs.
Ancient Stone Circular Lookouts On the high points of Nananu-i-Ra there is evidence of ancient Fijian settlements, with the remains of circular stone lookouts. From these vantage points, the people in days gone by would be able to view anyone coming near the island.
