Plage de Luengoni, Sand beach in Loyalty Islands Province, New Caledonia.
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.
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.
The lands here belong to Kanak communities who maintain their connection to the sea through daily practices and traditional approaches to managing their territory.
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.
A rocky outcrop in the bay carries the name of a French commercial advertisement filmed there decades ago. Few visitors realize this spot has a connection to 1990s television history.
