Pele Island
Pele
A small island off Efate's north coast with excellent white sand and coral reef snorkelling. It is one of the core areas of the Nguna-Pele Marine Protected Area.
Pele Island lies off the north coast of Efate, east of Nguna Island. The whole island has four small villages, and a walking path around it runs through coconut groves and village settlements. The beach in front of Worea village has shallow, clear water and rich coral reef fish, making it a good place to snorkel. Villagers run several beach bungalows, where lunch can be arranged. A common option is the north-coast island-hopping day tour from Port Vila, or driving to Emua jetty and chartering a boat (about 15 minutes). Note: this is a community conservation area, and snorkelling may incur a small conservation fee. Do not collect shells or coral.
