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)...

This cave is about a 10min walk from the dock to the right on the paved road. Easy to get to. You pay $10AUD to enter the property which is next to the church. There will be locals at the shaded area and you are safe to leave any large bags. Take some fresh water especially if it's warm. I would recommend water shoes although you can tough it out once at the cave but the rock can be jagged. This under water cave was the source of fresh water for the locals until it became a tourist attraction. The island has many underwater caves like this as one local told us. Not recommended for handicapped or persons unable to handle trail elevations. Its a steep descent into the cave opening. If you are considering bringing children they need to be good swimmers capable of climbing out of the water once they jump in. You cannot touch the bottom. Once inside it's Incredible! Locals have wired a light inside so you can see. The water is crystal clear. Refreshing is the word everyone used to describe how it feels once you jump in. You could spend about 45min to 1 hr here. It was a great way to end our day after snorkeling and hanging out on the beach.

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!

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.
