Introducing Momi Bay
South of Nadi the Queens Road winds through cane fields; the first interesting detour is to Momi Bay and along the coast on Old Queens Road The turn-off is about 18km south of Nadi (27km from the airport). Some local buses take this dusty unsealed route, but if you jump off you will have to wait a while for the next one. The 29km of unsealed road back to the Queens Road takes you through beautiful farmland, cane fields and pine plantations. There are lots of small temples and mosques in the area.

The Momi Guns (adult/child/family $3/1/6; 9am-5pm) is an evocative WWII battery on a hilltop about 6km from the Queens Road turn-off, coming from Nadi. The position of the battery was crucial as it overlooks the single entry into Western Fiji for large ships - the Navula Passage. The restored bunkers and fine collection of photos provide a tangible sense of the site's activity when in service. Take your camera - the views to the Navula Passage, Malolo Barrier Reef and Mamanuca islands are quite breathtaking.
