- Vanimo Surf Breaks: the shoreline and nearby reefs are the reason surfers come, with swells rolling in from the Pacific. Locals will point out which spots suit beginners and which need experience.

- Morning Fishing Canoes: outrigger fishermen haul in the early catch, and you can watch nets being sorted and sometimes buy fish directly.
