Latest reviews on Efate island's beaches

Efate beach
8 Lara

This place is absolutely stunning, and the attention to detail is remarkable. I had the pleasure of celebrating my birthday lunch here, and the food surpassed all expectations. The homemade ice cream and creme brulee were truly exceptional. If you ever find yourself in Vanuatu, I highly recommend coming here for lunch. It's an unforgettable experience. The food was top-notch, deserving of a five-star rating, and the selection of beautiful wines only added to the enjoyment. Every penny we spent was well worth it.

Eton Beach
8 Ethan Blackwood

We were fortunate enough to have the beach all to ourselves, and the water was a delightful blend of refreshing freshwater from upstream and comforting seawater. The clarity of the water was truly astonishing, however, there wasn't an abundance of marine creatures to admire. As we strolled towards the northern end of the cove, we discovered a lengthy pathway that ran parallel to the ocean, providing us with a picturesque view.

Honemoon Beach
6 Lila Renard

We took the bus from Waves at surfside, which only took about 10 minutes. The fee is now 500vatu per adult and 100vatu for kids. The beach is really nice, so make sure to bring snorkel gear. It is covered in coral, so it's recommended to wear sand shoes. Unfortunately, we didn't have any, but our kids still had fun, although the soft sand was limited. The cost of taking the bus and entry for 2 adults with 2 kids was 1200vatu for the return bus trip and 1100vatu for entry. In total, it came out to around $28aud for a day at the beach, which is a bit pricey, but that's Vanuatu for you. You have to pay for everything! There is a volleyball net there, so bring your own volleyball. Also, don't forget to bring your own food and drinks.

We spent a lot of time diving at the beach, using the two ropes on either side to swing like Tarzan and dive into the warm water. It was quite crowded during our visit, and we had to bring our own towels as they weren't provided. On the opposite side of the ropes, you can jump from a higher point. Overall, we had a fantastic time and managed to capture some great personal photos.
