Friendly Beach

Friendly Beach is the best beach on Tanna Island in Vanuatu. Due to the dark sand, the landscape is not very beautiful by the standards of Oceania. However, the swimming is comfortable, while there are picturesque palms ashore, as well as traditional bungalows. Shore and seabed: sand, stones. [edit]

Hotels [edit]

Friendly Beach Resort is a 3-star property with room's rates starting from US$170 per night. Bungalows are quite basic in all respects, so these fares looks somewhat overpriced. However, everything is expensive in Vanuatu.

How to get there [edit]

Fly to Port Vila international airport (VLI), and then fly to Tanna airport (TAH). Next hire a 4x4 taxi.

When to go [edit]

The best time to relax on Friendly Beach in the Tanna island is a dry period from July to October.
