« 20 Best Surfing Islands

#2. Tavarua, Fiji: Tavarua established the Gold Standard for surf resorts worldwide back in the 1980′s. Despite recent changes allowing open access to anyone to surf Cloudbreak and Restaurants at any time, the tropical perfection of the island, the luxurious accommodation, easy access to the waves and warm hospitality of the local Fijian people is the big draw for staying on the island itself. Many guests return year after year, renewing old friendships with Cloudbreak and Restaurants, and with staff members who treat them like family while introducing their children to the charms of one of the world’s best tropical islands.
