South Pacific Still Shaking

USGS list shows that in the area of Vanuatu and the Santa Cruz Islands the following earthquakes: 10/07 22:03 UTC 7.8, 22:18 UTC 7.7, 23:48 UTC 7.3. These were followed by five 5+ aftershocks, and then a 6.9 at 10/08 02:12 UTC. [Subtract 5 hours for CDT]

These are probably continuing adjustments caused by the Samoan earthquake, which then resulted in the disastrous Sumatran quake.

Every earthquake tends to add to the pressure at other points, which may snap.

The three in a row may have actually prevented a tsunami from forming by dampening any building wave from the initial shock. I would personally avoid the beach for a while.
