CST is the airport code associated with Castaway Island, a small private resort island in the Mamanuca Islands of Fiji, in the South Pacific. Castaway is one of the classic Mamanuca islands, a compact tropical island ringed by white-sand beaches, palm trees and a coral reef in clear, warm water, lying off the west coast of the main island of Viti Levu. The Mamanucas are among Fiji's best-known islands for sun, sea and snorkelling, a scattering of small islands and sandbars set in a bright lagoon. Castaway itself is reached not by a runway but by boat, seaplane or helicopter from the Nadi area and Port Denarau on Viti Levu, with catamaran transfers taking around ninety minutes and seaplane or helicopter far quicker. The nearest airport is Nadi International Airport on Viti Levu. The climate is warm and tropical, with a wetter, cyclone-risk season around the start of the year.
