About Kaibola Beach
Kaibola Beach is at the northern tip of the island of Kiriwina, beside the village of the same name, at the end of the road that crosses the island from Losuia. The sand is white and the water clear, with a coral reef a few meters from the beach.
The reef allows snorkeling directly from the sand, with corals and reef fish in shallow water. The beach belongs to the Kaibola community, which receives visitors and charges a contribution for use.
Along the way, the road passes through Omarakana and other villages with yam houses, and the beach visit is usually combined with those stops on a full-day excursion.
Nearby is Kalopa Cave, which holds ancient burials and is also visited with community guides.
