Sanma

The province containing Vanuatu's largest island, with blue holes, white-sand beaches and WWII shipwreck diving as highlights.

Sanma Province is centered on Espiritu Santo and also includes surrounding islands such as Malo; its capital, Luganville, is Vanuatu's second-largest town. During World War II it was an important U.S. military base, leaving behind famous dive sites such as the wreck of the SS President Coolidge and Million Dollar Point. The east coast has Champagne Beach, many clear blue holes and quiet small islands, while the interior offers rainforest and caves to explore. The dry season from May to October brings comfortable weather, ideal for diving and beach activities. Pekoa Airport in Luganville has domestic flights and some international connections.
