While Savusavu has two main marinas: the Copra Shed and the Waitui, there’s a lesser known marina further down the waterway. It’s not a straightforward trip: a boat needs to wind its way through shallows and reefs to get there. There’s no one to greet the vessel on arrival, and I don’t think there’s even anyone to answer the radio. There’s no reception area, and no eatery or bar. They do have a few moorings and one dock boats can tie up to. It’s a small, quiet place just outside town, used mostly by locals but handful of cruisers always wind up there and seem to enjoy it.
We took a walk down the road to take a look at it. It’s too far out of town for us, and with all the mangroves I fear it would be buggy. But it’s a peaceful place and probably perfect for the few people who find their way here. –Cyndi
