Grotte de Lindéralique

The Grotte de Lindéralique contains multiple interconnected caves formed within black limestone cliffs that extend several kilometers along the coastline.

The limestone formations of Lindéralique originated during the Paleocene epoch, with water erosion creating extensive networks of galleries through millions of years.

The caves hold significance for local Kanak communities, who integrated these natural formations into their traditions and daily practices.

Visitors can access the caves through two marked hiking trails, starting either from the seafront or from the intersection of RPN 10 road.

Several deep galleries traverse completely through the Lindéralique cliffs, connecting the ocean side to protected mangrove areas on the opposite end.
