Matangi Island, Fiji (Can You Guess Which One It Is? HINT: 'Horseshoe')

Horseshoe Bay Beach is part of an island that was once a volcano that has long disappeared into the depths of the warm South Pacific waters. The name comes from the horseshoe shape of the 240-acre island that surrounds the former crater of the old volcano. Today Horseshoe Bay Beach is one of Fiji’s best beaches complete with tall green palms and deep blue waters. The volcanic rock that serves as the foundation of the island created the lush surroundings both on the island and underwater evidenced by the amazing collection of coral.

Diving and snorkeling here is a must and you will find that the best months for that are from the months of May through December. If you are just looking to get away and relax, try to be there from September to November.
