Ile aux Canards island, Noumea

3.9
#1 of 15 in Nature in New Caledonia
#Island, #Nature / Park
Famed for its coral reef, the tiny Ile aux Canards island remains a snorkeling paradise just a stone's throw from the mainland. See exotic marine life up close and personal, or just stay on the sand and relax. Rent a beach chair and umbrella, and pick up a few snacks at the cafe serving light meals and drinks. Remember to wear reef shoed to avoid cutting your feet on washed-up coral. If you can, avoid visiting when a cruise ship arrives to take adavantage of the best spots on the sand.

Ideal for people who want to see full the Peepers without going too far and without having to dive.
