Baie des amoureux, White sand beach in Bourail, New Caledonia
Baie des amoureux is a white sand beach in Bourail that stretches along the coast with natural vegetation framing its shores. The water here is suitable for swimming, making it a practical spot for visitors seeking a safe bathing area.
The beach was named for its remote and secluded setting, which made it a preferred destination over time. This characteristic shaped its role in the region's development.
The beach holds importance for local communities who maintain their relationship with the sea through traditional practices and daily activities. The connection between people and this coastal environment remains visible in how the space is used today.
Access comes via the Three Bays Trail, a walking route connecting several bays along the coast. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes and be prepared for the walk to reach the beach.
Unlike the neighboring Turtle Bay, swimming is permitted and actively enjoyed here by visitors. This distinction sets it apart from other beaches in the area.
