Champagne Beach

Title – Champagne Beach
Date – September 2000
Location - Espiritu Santo Island - Vanuatu

Champagne Beach has simply to be one of the best undiscovered beaches in the world. It’s not a place to come to sip cocktails and sit by the pool as there are no cocktails to be had and no swimming pool. But there is no need to worry, why would you need a pool when there is a white sand beach sloping gently off into a sea protected from extremes by a small island in the mouth of the bay. As for the cocktails, the local villagers sometimes have a few bits and bobs available for the odd passing tourist, but ‘bring your own’, is definitely the way forward.

Beyond The Blue believes in training the individuals attending our Gap Year and Independent Travel Safety & Awareness workshop in being well prepared for where ever they are going. At Champagne Beach all you need is your swimming gear, enough water for the day and sunscreen. For a year away from home you’ll need a little more, but not as much as some people would think….
