Plage de Luengoni

Reviewed By Gil40100 - Dax, France

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)...

Lifou Island

Reviewed By sm2683 - Newstead, Australia

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.

Easo Beach

Reviewed By lastword2016 - Edinburgh, United Kingdom

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!

4. Notre Dame de Lourdes

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!

Baie de Jinek

Reviewed By Ms_krissi_marie - Sydney, Australia

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.
