Vava'u Tonga Beaches




Tonga - even the word is mysterious. And yet, this island-nation is about as friendly and relaxed as they get. Most visitors come here with a resort reservation in hand hoping to experience sun and sea and get unplugged from civilization.Since the island of Tonga take a little work to get to, most are not overrun by tourists. In fact on Vava'u, we found that even the central city of Neiafu was small and not at all interested in expansion or sprawl. But if you are like we - wanting to explore tiny islands in the middle of the Pacific - Tonga is for you.One of Tonga's four main island groups, Vava'u is off the beaten track. We found the beaches sparsely populated and even the towns had few residents. You can certainly be yourself here.
