The Luengoni beach on Lifou island is known as one of the most beautiful. You have so much incredible beaches in New Caledonia and still more in "Loyauté" islands... So all is subjective but it's true that this really long white sandy beach with its curve is incredible. Under the sun the white sand takes all is beauty and the coral rocks in the sea enforce this beauty of nature. Very known by tourists but as all the beaches in New Caledonia, almost nobody on it... The large space you have to put your towel allow you generally to enjoy this beach as a Robinson. You can find shadow at different places (in the back of the beach) and it's easy to stop and join it (even if in the North side, there are lot of houses along the street (hiding a bit some entrances). You have a clear entrance with parking at South end of this wonderful place. You can swim easily with no current and join some small coral reef where you'll find lot of life and its known here that you can see turtles more easily than elsewhere. Be respectful of this wild life please (don't stress the turtles)...

We spent the day at Lifou while on a P&O Cruise on the Pacific Dawn ship. A beautiful spot to relax on the beach and jump off the pier with kids! Beautiful reefs. 4-5 large sea turtles started swimming around us while in the water! Amazing! Some good little local markets. Highly recommend reef shoes as the beaches are incredibly rough and sharp with coral and shells.

We had a lovely, relaxing time on this very pretty palm-fringed beach on Lifou, an island in New Caledonia in the South Pacific. It was quite a narrow beach and a little busy when we were there, but it didn’t in any way affect our enjoyment. The sea was crystal clear, and hugely inviting. It was hot, but we were able to cool down with ice cold New Caledonia beer bought from a nearby trader. This was all a lovely experience. We’ll always remember Lifou! Perfect!

Amazing clear water, long stretch of beach, plenty of room for everyone from the cruise ship. Great for families, plenty of shade under the trees - can also hand your towel up to dry in between. Buy a coconut for $5, toilets available - were clean and fine. Food and drink options. Worth the bus fare from the port.
5. Notre Dame de Lourdes

Reviewed By AINOZ - Melbourne, Australia
We visited via cruise ship the Golden Princess and this island was wonderful, I love th history of it, the locals and the 2 churches are divine. This church is a little hard to get to if you cannot walk very well, it is an approx. 400 metre steep and uneven walk up to the church but well worth it!

We stopped in Lifou as part of our cruise, and purchased tickets to the Jinek Bay Marine Reserve (which is what you have to do to swim/snorkel here). So worth the money! I would pay double. Incredible sea life and amazing coral. Arguably one of the most beautiful places I have ever visited.
7. Mare Island

We stopped at Mare Island as part of a cruise with Carnival Cruises (separate review done on Carnival who I'd recommend you avoid as a cruise provider). From the moment we disembarked the cruise, we were warmly greeted to the island by the local people and were transported to Yejele Beach. The beach was absolutely beautiful and we experienced both lovely swimming and snorkelling. The local people had food available and the satay sticks appeared a popular choice. The only improvement would be better toilet facilities but overall, we enjoyed the beach. We went for a walk around at Tadine and again, found the coastline very pretty - great for photos. Would recommend a stop at this island.
