180° Meridian (Date Line) Monument
A 180-degree meridian marker beside the coast road on the west side of the island, where you can stand with one foot in 'today' and the other in 'yesterday'.
The 180-degree meridian crosses Taveuni, and a marker beside the coast road near Waiyevo reads 'Between Yesterday and Today.' In fact, all of Fiji uses the same time zone, and the International Date Line bends eastward here to avoid the land, so the dates on either side are the same. It is still the most popular photo spot on the island. The nearby Wairiki Catholic Mission and the town of Waiyevo can be visited together.
