Mele Bay

Mele Bay opens on the southwestern coast of Efate, with Ifira Island near the entrance to the smaller Vila Bay. Pango Point marks its southern side and Erakau lagoon lies to the east. On Efate and nearby Lelepa and Eretoka, places associated with the chiefly title Roi Mata recall a dynasty that held authority in central Vanuatu until the seventeenth century.
