Beachcomber Island - South Pacific Island 4
Beachcomber Island, another one in the Mamanucas was fantastic. A tiny coral island surrounded by an almost pure white-sand beach with pretty fantastic snorkelling just a short boat ride off shore where we snorkelled and saw sting-rays!
Here is known as the party island within Fiji and with the exception of the first night, which was pretty quiet, lived up to it's expectation the second night, which led to us dancing in the sand nightclub!
Our accommodation was in the dorm, which housed some 130 people!! Once you get drunk enough not to hear other people's snoring you're fine! Entertainment here was also pretty good with fire dancers and traditional Fijian dancing!
The only draw-back with this island was the fact that it was home to some fifty billion trillion mosquitos! One evening alone, Louise managed to be bitten almost a hundred times on her back! To walk from one side of the island to the other (about 5mins) we would be covered in mossies in just a few seconds!
Also here they raised turtles, but this time we were lucky enough to be able to hold them! My one tried to escape and almost fell to the ground, but fortunately I was quick enough to grab it. Not quite sure I could live with the death of a baby turtle on my conscience!
