THE famous Coral Coast in Fiji is located on the south-western coastline of the main island. This makes it a convenient holiday destination for all kinds of travellers. There are budget accommodations for backpackers, lively resorts for the young and young at heart, sophisticated resort hotels for corporate travel, and romantic retreats for couples seeking a tropical getaway or honeymoon spot. The resorts and hotels are dotted along the long coastline and accessed by a scenic coastal highway. With a backdrop of hills, the travel accommodation found here is located on palm-fringed white coral sand beaches leading into a calm lagoon. This is bounded by a fringing reef parallelling the shore from which the region gets its name.
