Eton Beach
A white-sand bay on the east coast, managed by the village, with shallow, clear water inside the reef. Good for family swims and picnics, close to the Blue Lagoon.
Eton Beach lies in Eton village on the east coast of Efate. A crescent of white sand faces a calm bay protected by coral reef. The shallows are clear, making it good for swimming and snorkelling. Large trees provide shade along the shore, and villagers run small stalls where you can buy coconuts and grilled fish for lunch. Entry costs a few hundred vatu. It is about 45 minutes from Port Vila and is best combined with the Blue Lagoon for a half day when driving around the island. Note: at low tide the reef is exposed, so do not walk barefoot on the coral. On Sundays, when villagers attend church, some facilities may be closed.
