Port Sandwich - Activities, Attractions & Shopping
There are local guides ready to take you on hiking trips to explore the area.
Sharks: There was a meat packing business at the Port Sandwich Wharf in the 70s and 80s. Because of this, there is an increased shark activity in the area. It is strongly advised that you do not swim near the wharf. However swimming in Lamap, Penap, or Dravaii village is safe. And of course outside of the Port Sandwich inlet is completely safe. When in doubt ask the locals. There are in fact some great snorkelling sites, large families of dugongs and even a sunken WWII aeroplane.
Once a month during the yachting season, May-October, there is an Island Night which features a Melanesian feast, live music, fresh kava, and cold Tusker. This takes place at the “Yacht Club” down by the wharf.
There are two traditional dance groups in the area that are ready to perform on any weekday for a group rate of 10,000 vt.
The first week of August is the Annual Port Sandwich Art & Culture Festival.
