Maré, Coral atoll island in New Caledonia, France.
The second largest of the Loyalty Islands extends 42 kilometers in length with elevated coral formations rising 120 meters above sea level.
European exploration of the island began in August 1793 when William Raven first documented its existence during his journey aboard the Britannia.
The indigenous population speaks Nengone, belongs to the Melanesian ethnic group, and maintains strong Christian traditions introduced during the nineteenth century.
Visitors can access the island through Air Calédonie flights or the Betico 2 ferry, with rental cars available for transportation around the territory.
The interior landscape contains a former lagoon enclosed by elevated land, creating a network of fossil coral caves, pools, and natural formations.
