Kanacea (pronounced [kanaˈðea]) (Kanathea[1]) is a volcanic island with seven peaks in Fiji's Lau archipelago. It is 15 km west of Vanua Balavu. Covering an area of 12.48 square kilometres (3,084 acres), it has a maximum elevation of 259 meters.[2]
The island features a coconut plantation and many streams, and is circled by great beaches and fringing reefs with a boat opening and a large lagoon on the northeastern side. Plantation buildings and a school remain.
Kanacea is privately owned.[3] Its main economic activity was centered on copra and sugarcane, and it retains a coconut plantation.[2]
