Pevahy

Pevahy, also known as Pevah or Pevahs, are a group of small, isolated islands located in the South Pacific Ocean, approximately 1,200 kilometers (750 miles) east of Fiji. The archipelago consists of four main islands: Pele, Pelehu, Pelehuke, and Pelehukehuke. These islands are part of the Lau Group, which is administered by Fiji. The total land area of Pevahy is less than 1 square kilometer (0.4 square miles), and the population is sparse, with a mix of indigenous Fijians and other Pacific Islanders.

The islands are known for their pristine beaches, clear lagoons, and lush vegetation. The local economy relies heavily on subsistence farming, fishing, and copra production. Tourism is also a growing sector, with visitors drawn to the islands' natural beauty and remote location.

Pevahy has a rich cultural heritage, with traditional Fijian customs and practices still prevalent. The islands are home to several historic sites, including ancient burial grounds and traditional villages. The local language is Fijian, and the islands are part of the Melanesian cultural sphere.

Despite their remote location, Pevahy is connected to the mainland by regular ferry services. The islands face challenges such as limited infrastructure, high costs of living, and environmental degradation due to tourism. However, efforts are being made to promote sustainable tourism and preserve the islands' natural and cultural heritage.
