Latest reviews on New Caledonia's beaches

Baie des amoureux
10 Landon Kessler

This bay is a small, secluded spot that can only be reached on foot, unlike the nearby Turtle Bay. It's perfect for a quick lunch break while exploring the three bays. Snorkeling is an option here, and you may spot turtles, guitar rays, and small sharks. However, the tide can sometimes create issues or make the water murky. The bay is named after the past use of young couples hiding here among the dense vegetation to enjoy some privacy.
