Vuda Point

Vuda Point is a headland on the west coast of Viti Levu island, in Ba Province of Fiji.

By tradition, Vuda Point was the landing site of the canoes that brought the Melanesian ancestors of the Fijian people to the country.

Oral traditional folklore states that the chief Lutunasobasoba the progenitor of most indigenous Fijians, arrived at Vuda with his entourage, sailing from Lake Tanganyika in Tanzania East Africa and journeyed up the Tuleita to the Nakauvadra mountain ranges.

The Vuda area was prime real estate due to its location near the city during the booming years of sugar production.

During World War II the US Navy built a Naval Base Fiji Fleet Recreation Center at the point.
