Jokin Cliffs, Coral stone cliffs in Lifou, New Caledonia.
The limestone cliffs rise 37 meters above the Pacific Ocean, forming a natural barrier along the northern coastline of Lifou Island.
The caves within these cliffs served as burial locations for Kanak tribe chiefs throughout previous generations of indigenous inhabitants.
Local tribes organize traditional jumping contests from designated spots along the cliffs into the clear waters below during summer celebrations.
Visitors can access the beach area by descending 150 stone steps from the hilltop church, with a concrete platform facilitating water entry.
The underwater section of the cliffs houses large communities of fire clownfish, gathering in groups of up to 50 individuals among sea anemones.
