Although Plage de la Baie des Citrons remains one of the busiest beaches in Noumea, it offers plenty of space for playful water lovers. The calm, shallow water is perfect for young children, and during the high season you can find rafts in deeper water serving as diving boards. Lifeguards patrol the beach, but be sure to stay within the flagged areas for the safest swimming conditions. Look for restaurants and accommodations a walking distance from the beach.

    Nice little beach, not as windy as Anse Vata, and not crowded. There are lively corals on the south side, where you can go for snorkeling. I’ve seen a stingray and an octopus, heard you can find turtles there sometimes too. Supposedly the Aquarium nearby takes care of these corals. At night this is the “party” beach of Noumea, many bars are located on the strip, and on weekend nights its very loud.
