Havannah Harbour
Port Havannah
A deep-water harbour on Efate's northwest coast that served as a US fleet anchorage in World War II. Today the bay is calm, with boutique resorts and island views.
Port Havannah lies on the northwest coast of Efate. The channels between it and Lelepa and Moso islands form a natural sheltered harbour. During World War II, the US Pacific fleet gathered here, and the old wharf and other remains can still be found on the shore. Today several boutique resorts and seaside restaurants line the bay. The water is calm, which suits kayaking, snorkelling and fishing. It is also the departure point for boat trips to Lelepa and Moso islands. It is about 40 minutes' drive from Port Vila and lies on the route around the island. Note: accommodation in the bay is expensive, and dining reservations should be made in advance.
