Plage de la Baie des Citrons, Sandy beach in Noumea Bay, New Caledonia
This white sand beach extends for one kilometer along the Roger Laroque Promenade, providing clear waters and swimming opportunities.
The bay received its name from a ship carrying lemons that ran aground in these waters during the early days of colonization.
The beach functions as a social center where local residents gather for community events and share traditional New Caledonian meals.
Lifeguards monitor the 300-meter swimming zone from 8:45 AM to 5:00 PM, with flags indicating current swimming conditions.
The natural bay configuration shields the beach from prevailing winds, establishing perfect conditions for tropical fish observation.
