On the east side of the island, Mount Yasur is probably Tanna's main attraction. Yasur is an active volcano - it erupts every few minutes. The government releases a rating system from 0 (normal) to 5 (Very large eruption) so you can be safer. There are also some interesting rock formations on the north side of the volcano. Protect yourself (breathing mask, protection glasses) and your camera (rain sleeve, filter) as the summit is very windy and any exposed part of your body will be covered in dust ashes. The volcano is little over 1,000 feet in height. Some locals believe that the volcano is sacred.
The one-mile strip of beach is located near a creek and faces onto Sulphur Bay.

A road goes from Lenakel across the island. If you follow this road, you should eventually come to the village of White Sands.
Read in the guideThe roads connecting the villages at White Sands are primitive dirt roads. Getting around the region is probably much easier by foot than by car.
