Exploring Fiji
Four miles of large windswept sand dunes along the coast is a protected national park administered by the National Trust of Fiji. The park has a very informative visitor centre about the ancient inhabitants and ecology of the region. Pottery shards from the Lapita Era (1000 years ago), buried in time by drifting sands, can be found scattered amongst the sand dunes and several archaeological excavations have revealed ancient fishing settlements. There are several official trails to explore the sand dunes which often expose these ancient pottery shards.
