Fodor's Expert Review Natadola Beach

Natadola Beach remains arguably the mainland's best beach. You can ride horses provided by the locals (if they're not there, this can be arranged through the Natadola Beach Resort or the Intercontinental Fiji), swim without fear of stepping on coral, soak up the sun and eat at the beachfront resorts. Since there are no true amenities at the beach, the close proximity to the Natadola Beach Resort (adults only!) and Intercontinental is a blessing. The beach is at the end of Maro Road, which appears just past the police post on Queens Road, near Km 45. Turn right before you get to the Intercontinental and go round the back of Natadola Beach Resort. Amenities: none. Best for: solitude and swimming.
