Sigatoka Sand Dunes Entrance and Visitors Centre, National park entrance at Sigatoka River mouth, Fiji.
The Sigatoka Sand Dunes Entrance and Visitors Centre sits where the Sigatoka River meets the coast in Fiji, providing access to a large coastal sand dune system. The dunes form rolling formations across the protected landscape, creating a distinctive geological feature shaped by wind and water over millennia.
People arrived at this location roughly 2600 years ago when the Lapita culture first explored and settled the region. Archaeologists discovered their pottery, tools, and remains within the dunes, providing evidence of one of the earliest human populations in the Pacific.
The site holds one of the most important collections of Lapita pottery in the Pacific, with vessels shaped by hands over two and a half millennia ago still visible today.
Walking trails through the dunes range from short strolls to longer hikes lasting several hours, so good footwear and plenty of water are essential for any visit. The drier months make the paths easier to navigate than during wetter periods of the year.
The site hosts roughly 37 bird species, with eight found only in Fiji, including the Fiji Bush Warbler and Fiji Goshawk, making it a haven for birdwatchers and researchers. These endemic birds are a key reason the area remains protected today.
