Beqa Lagoon

Beqa Lagoon lies off the southern coast of Viti Levu, around the high island of Beqa. A barrier reef encloses waters between the island and the larger Fijian shore, with channels opening to the sea. Beqa’s communities occupy an island landscape closely connected to southern Viti Levu; the lagoon and reef mark the boundary between its sheltered waters and the open ocean beyond.
