# Good beach resort in PNG? Or West Papua? Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Papua New Guinea
vobriant 23:29 UTC 01 May 2012 | We'll be with a tour group in PNG for 12 days in August. We have about 4 days after the tour finishes to chill out somewhere and we'd like it to be on a GREAT beach. Maybe somewhere close to a good dive site... Does anyone have any suggestions in PNG, West Papua, Indonesia, or perhaps another nearby island? Looking for quiet, nice accommodations, and good food. Thanks. |
Laszlo 03:19 UTC 02 May 2012 | If all you have is 4 days, it should be reasonably close to wherever your tour ends. Forget Indonesia - it has no direct flight connections from PNG, so you'd use up 2 of your 4 days just to get there and back. | 1

That said, the best beaches are in New Ireland or Bougainville. New Ireland from POM is your best bet but 4 days here goes fast! Good Luck! | 4
schmidle 20:44 UTC 15 May 2012 | Was in Wewak (Sundaun province) lately, where nearby islands Kairiru and Mushu blew my mind. Kairiru is a tropic paradise but not too much for swimming as well as too basic for diving. Mushu offers you great swimming and beaches without sandflies!!! Contact there Mathew Mando at rainubeach.lodge@gmail.com for more info. Good luck! | 5
