A truly great spot is called, SECRET COVE. Located in Veitongo... shhhh! From Town take a bus to the Bird Park, then ask someone. If it's a weekday you'll no doubt have the whole palce to yourself. Another place is called... VIAKOLOTAI in Fua'amotu. This stretch of beach will go a couple miles with no one on it. This is truly a paradise.

From Pangai (the main town - on Lifuka), you can get a boat (a dinghy with an outboard on the back), to Uoleva (I paid T$7.50 one way).

Just along the same stretch of beach is another resort (Jane's Resort - I think), which is newer (it's not in LP), and looked nicer. Apart from these very small resorts, no-one lives on the island.I should point out...
