Sigatoka Sand Dunes National Park

Sigatoka, Viti Levu, Fiji

---

Sigatoka Sand Dunes National Park, near Sigatoka on Viti Levu's Coral Coast in Fiji, spans 650 hectares of dramatic parabolic dunes up to 60 meters high formed over thousands of years by river erosion and coastal winds, marking Fiji's first national park established in 1989.

This unique grey-brown sand landscape, stabilized by vines, shrubs, and a 1960s mahogany forest, hosts diverse ecosystems with endemic birds like the Fiji goshawk and bush warbler, reptiles such as skinks and Pacific boas, plus butterflies and fruit bats amid dry forests.

An archaeological treasure with pottery shards, stone tools, and ancient burial sites dating back 2,600 years, it offers hiking trails, guided walks, and ocean views, blending nature, history, and education for visitors exploring this UNESCO tentative World Heritage gem.
