What Services are Available on the Pacific Harbour and Beqa?

If you’re planning a holiday to the Pacific Harbour in Fiji, then you don’t need to worry about being too far away from essential shops and services. Unlike many small towns and villages in Fiji, the Pacific Harbour is modernly developed with its own range of shops, grocery stores, restaurants, fuel stations and more – most of which can be found at the Arts Village. If you need anything else, you can probably find it in the neighbouring town of Navua. Those staying on Beqa Island should take supplies with them. Find out what to expect with this guide to the information, shops and services on the Pacific Harbour and Beqa.
