Dravuni Island Beach
The boat slows as it approaches Dravuni, and you see the beach before the village: a scimitar of white sand so bright against the turquoise lagoon that you squint even through sunglasses. Palms lean over the strand, their fronds rattling in the trade wind that keeps the heat bearable.

Questions people actually ask about Dravuni Island Beach.
Is Dravuni Island Beach safe for swimming and snorkeling?
Dravuni Island Beach is generally safe for swimming within the lagoon, where calm, shallow waters are protected by the surrounding reef. The turquoise water is clear and ideal for wading and swimming close to shore. Snorkeling is excellent along the reef edges, but always check current conditions and stay within marked safe areas. Avoid swimming during high tide or rough weather, and be mindful of coral to prevent cuts. There are no lifeguards, so swim at your own risk and stay close to shore if you're not a confident swimmer.
When is the best time to visit Dravuni Island Beach?
The best time to visit Dravuni Island Beach is during Fiji's dry season from May to October, when you'll experience sunny skies, calm seas, and less humidity. This period also sees fewer crowds compared to peak holiday months. The water remains warm year-round for swimming and snorkeling. November through April brings the wet season with higher rainfall, humidity, and occasional cyclones, though temperatures stay tropical. For optimal weather and photography opportunities, aim for the shoulder months of May, June, September, or October when conditions are ideal and visitor numbers are lower.
