You can't stop the waves, but you can learn to surf.

There is plenty of room on sandy bottom on the northeast side of Lelepa Island. This spot can get quite windy but the holding is good and we found it perfectly comfortable with a stern anchor out even with 25-30kt blowing over us. There is a nice sandy beach here for relaxing and swimming and a well maintained path that takes you to the other side of the island in 5 minutes to another sandy beach and nice snorkelling at the southern end of the bay. Tour operators use this so there are tables and hammocks set up and even a post box.
Best snorkelling we found at this site was either side of the dinghy mooring around this location. Quite good coral and plenty of reef fish and schools of fusiliers. There is a school of slightly larger fish that must get hand fed as they follow you about.
