Ways to enjoy the dreamy beaches of New Caledonia

New Caledonia, embraced by the Pacific Ocean, is located in the largest lagoon in the world. With an area of 24,300 square kilometers, this lagoon is a world-class beauty that has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and provides a perfect environment for creating dreamy beaches.

Baie d'Oro

Admire the colorful fish in the natural pool of Baie d'Oro: Baie d'Oro, protected by a narrow channel, is very calm with no waves or surges, allowing clownfish, parrotfish, giant sea urchins, and other fish to display their vibrant colors undisturbed. It takes a 45-minute walk from Upi Bay to reach the natural pool.

Baie de Kuto

Family swimming at Baie de Kuto: Baie de Kuto boasts crystal-clear waters surrounded by towering, straight Araucaria trees. It is not only one of the most beautiful islands in the world but also an ideal spot for the whole family to swim and play in the water.

Ouvéa Island

Visit Ouvéa Island to see baby sharks: In the north, there is a 'breeding ground' for lemon sharks in the lagoon. Just stand on the shore and wait a little, and you are guaranteed to see shark fins emerging from the water. These sharks always return to their birthplace to breed.

Sabah Derawan Bay

On this towering island, the beautiful bay is interspersed with steep cliffs, creating a strange landscape. The waves gently lap the famous Sabah Derawan terraces, and on the beach, waterfalls formed by raised coral reefs. It is very magnificent and spectacular!

Lyon Goni

The powdery soft sands of Lyon Goni on Lifu Island make you want to take off your shoes and walk barefoot on the beach. The best time to visit is at noon when the brilliant sunlight illuminates the magical green water holes. Swim to explore the area, and if you're lucky, you might encounter a few green sea turtles along the way...

Plage de la Roche Percée

Swept by the southeast trade winds, Poé is a must-visit beach for windsurfing and kitesurfing enthusiasts. Not far away, Plage de la Roche Percée is not only the archipelago's only surfing beach but also the starting point of the beautiful Three Bays Trail along the Boulari Lagoon, which leads all the way to Lover's Bay.
