Plage de l'Anse Vata, White sand beach in Nouméa, New Caledonia.
Plage de l'Anse Vata is a wide sand beach along Nouméa's waterfront with fine white sand and shallow water suitable for swimming. The shoreline has shaded zones beneath trees and runs alongside green spaces and the promenade.
The beach gained importance in the 1950s as Nouméa began its development as a coastal destination. This period marked when the city first invested in its waterfront areas.
The beach serves as a gathering place where locals spend time swimming, picnicking, and relaxing with family and friends. Social activities and casual recreation shape how people use this coastal space throughout the week.
The beach has ample parking and facilities including showers and restrooms throughout the area. Tables and benches are available in shaded zones for picnicking and resting.
The bay experiences consistent winds that create excellent conditions for water sports enthusiasts. These steady breezes make it a favored spot for those seeking windsurfing and similar activities.
