Pango & Breakas Beach
Pango
A beach and village on the Pango Peninsula south of Port Vila. Surfers head to the outer reef break, and the village still keeps traditional fish traps and kava houses.
The Pango Peninsula lies about 10 minutes' drive south of Port Vila. Breakas Beach on the western side faces the open sea, with a quiet sandy shore and consistent surf over the outer reef, making it a favourite break for surfers near Port Vila. Pango village on the eastern side preserves scenes of traditional life, including woven bamboo fish traps and nakamal kava houses. Near the lighthouse at the tip of the peninsula is a good spot to watch the sunset. Beach resorts allow non-guests to dine at their restaurants. Note: the outer sea is rough and the reef shallow, so beginners should not go surfing there, and you should say hello before entering the village.
