You can walk around Beachcomber island in ten minutes, it's that small.
Pulling up to it on the Yasawa flyer it looks every inch the image of the deserted island that you conjure up when you think of Fiji. Beachcomber's got a reputation for being the party island of the Yasawa's, and yes, we did spend the majority of our three days intoxicated. But beyond that, Beachcomber has got this paradise thing down to a tee and we absolutely loved it.
Accommodation
The words '90-bed dorm' didn't fill us with much confidence when it came to the sleeping arrangements on Beachcomber. 90 girls, one room, no walls... Yeah, it sounded like hell. So, the fact that it was actually really not that bad at all, was a really pleasant surprise. Inconsiderate girls getting back drunk and shouting at each other only added to the experience.
We slept well, but then the dorm wasn't even half full; in fact there were probably only about 20 of us in there due to it being off-season. I don't really want to think about what it would be like if it was full...
Food
The best thing about food on Beachcomber was the fish. Every lunch and dinner offered a fish dish, a meat dish and something for the vegetarians. The salad was fresh, the fruit was constantly topped up and there was chocolate cake on night two. We ate well for the first time in a while and it was awesome.
Beachcomber prides itself on it's party atmosphere (and it definitely has quite a reputation to live up to.)
There are three happy hours a day. There are games in the evening. The music pumps until the early hours. People dance on the beach and on the tables. They skinny dip and they drink all day long. If you want to party, or at least meet like-minded people that are up for a laugh and a drinking game and chats until the early hours, here's the island to visit.
Activities
The island might be tiny, but there is plenty to do on Beachcomber (drinking and sunbathing aside) and the staff are keen to get everyone involved in all of the free activities.
Fish feeding happens twice a day and it is a brilliant experience. Thousands of fish swarm to the boat as we pull up to the coral 5 minutes out to sea. We fed them bread and they took it out of our hands - very cool.
There's coral viewing too, and you can go and see the turtles which are kept on the other side of the island. Basket weaving, talks about the wildlife, classes on how to tie your sari; Beachcomber has got it all.
Day trips are also widely available form here, both South Sea Island and Castaway are nearby and you can jump on a day cruise.
I'd recommend Beachcomber if you are up for a good time and want to meet people that are keen to do the same. It's a tiny island with a lot going for it (and the really great cocktails certainly help.)
