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.

Euro Bay

Admire colorful fish in the natural pool of Baie d'Oro in Ouro Bay: The narrow channel protected by the bay is very calm, without waves and surges. Therefore, clownfish, parrotfish, giant sea urchins, and other fish can bloom with brilliant colors undisturbed. The natural pool can be reached by a 45-minute walk from Upi Bay.

Coto Bay

The whole family went swimming in Baie de Kuto in Ile des Pins: Baie de Kuto has crystal-clear waters and is surrounded by towering Norfolk pines. It is not only one of the most beautiful islands in the world, but also an ideal place for the whole family to swim and play in the water.

Uwe Island

Visit Ouvéa Island in New Caledonia to admire baby sharks: In the northern part of the island, there is a "breeding ground" for lemon sharks in a lagoon. Just stand on the shore and wait for a moment, and you are guaranteed to see the sight of shark fins surfacing. These sharks always return to their birthplace to reproduce.

Shabadran Bay

On this towering island, beautiful bays are interspersed with steep cliffs, forming a strange landscape. The waves softly wash the famous Shabalan steps and on the beach, there are majestic waterfalls formed by towering coral reefs. It is very magnificent!

Lyon Gun Ni

The sand on the beaches of Rangoni in Iwate is as fine and soft as flour, making you want to take off your shoes and walk barefoot on the beach. The best time to do this is during midday when the bright sunshine illuminates the magical emerald green pools in these enchanting sinkholes. If you're lucky, you may even encounter a few green sea turtles along the way while swimming and exploring.

Cave Rock Beach

Baoi, which is swept by the southeast monsoon winds, is a beach that sailing and kite surfing enthusiasts should not miss. The nearby Dongyan Beach is not only the only surfing beach in the archipelago, but also the starting point of the beautiful three-bay trail along the Blyer Lagoon, which leads all the way to Lovers Bay.
