Attractions

For practical purposes, Savusavu has only one street, and that runs along the shore for about 1.5km (1 mile). The modern Copra Shed, an old warehouse that has been turned into modern shops and a cafe, stands about midway along the shore. A bit farther along is Waitui Marina, where cruising yachties come ashore.

Highlights of a stroll along the bay-hugging avenue are the gorgeous scenery and the volcanic hot springs. Steam from underground rises eerily from the rocky beach on the west end of town, and you can see more white clouds floating up from the ground between the sports field and the school, both behind the Shell station. A concrete pot has been built to make a natural stove in which local residents place meals to cook slowly all day. Overlooking the springs and bay, the Savusavu Hot Springs Hotel has great views.
