Naiwe Beach at Blue Water

Naiwe Beach at Blue Water sits where a river meets the sea on Efate's east coast, about 20 minutes' drive from Port Vila. It is best known as a place where visitors can wade into a shallow lagoon to feed and swim alongside sea turtles, spot baby sharks, and encounter coconut crabs — followed by a beachside BBQ lunch. However, this attraction has drawn persistent and serious criticism from animal-welfare-conscious travellers. If ethical wildlife encounters matter to your trip planning, you should read the concerns below before deciding whether to visit.
