beck4711 Posted April 1, 2014 #1 Share Posted April 1, 2014 hello we have been to Vila and Mystery Island before, last time we did Hideaway Island and well no swimming at Mystery due to seeing a few people attacked by jellyfish, the screaming was enough to scare my 8 year out of the water. Champayne Bay and Pendercoste - these are new to us, so any suggestions? Also any different ideas for Villa? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Fletcher Posted April 1, 2014 #2 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Champagne Beach is a magnificent stretch of sand, one of the finest beaches in the Pacific, and when we were there it was just the two of us. Today, the big cruise ships show up quite regularly and tender people ashore. The beach is still spectacular but with 2000-odd people it will . . . . well, it's not the same. Pentecost (not Pendercoste) is world famous as the site where local men climb up tall bamboo towers and jump off, celebrating the yam harvest and defying death as only a vine tied to their ankles breaks their fall. I've not seen this myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare aussielozzie18 Posted April 3, 2014 #3 Share Posted April 3, 2014 (edited) Champagne Bay is beautiful spot. Gorgeous beach for relaxing and swimming. Snorkelling is great at the far end. Locals have outrigger canoes on the beach and you can pay $5.00ppAUD for a ride. The beach has loads of markets selling souvenirs and clothing. At the markets there are locals selling day tours. One popular tour is to the the blue lagoon which is about 25mins drive away. You would need to take reef shoes as the access into the blue lagoon is slippery and rocky.
