Plage de Luengoni, Sand beach in Loyalty Islands Province, New Caledonia.
Description
Luengoni Beach stretches across a kilometer of white sand bordered by coral formations and shallow turquoise waters. The shoreline curves gently into a small bay with open sandy areas and gradual ocean entry.
History
This beach shows the geological history of the Loyalty Islands, which formed over thousands of years as coral reefs gradually rose above the sea. The processes created the landscape and features visible today.
Culture
The lands here belong to Kanak communities who maintain their connection to the sea through daily practices and traditional approaches to managing their territory.
Practical
A local guide should accompany your visit to ensure safe access and proper orientation around the beach. Booking in advance is recommended to arrange your trip and confirm conditions on the day.
