Roche Percee Beach

The coast is quite rugged, but if you're willing to wait and visit during the right season, you may catch a glimpse of the turtles popping up for air amidst the waves.

If you happen to be traveling through New Caledonia, make sure to visit this amazing spot. I definitely don't regret stopping by, as you can capture breathtaking photos of the stunning rock formations, including the famous Pierced Rock and Little Man.

This is a stunning little beach. The sunsets are supposed to be incredible on clear days, but unfortunately we had too much cloud cover when we visited. Despite that, it's still a beautiful spot.

Roche Percée beach is located around a 10-minute drive from Néra bridge, after taking a left at the fork from Noumea. It's definitely a beach worth visiting in the area, especially since the iconic "bonhomme de Bourail" can be found there. However, if you plan on swimming, it's best to stay away from the man due to the dangerous currents and waves. Nonetheless, the beach is still a great spot to watch the waves crash with the man in the background. The location is quite pleasant and is a favorite among photographers. Sitting on the beach during sunset is particularly calming, and the view is truly breathtaking at that time of day. If you visit the beach during turtle nesting season (November-February), make sure to follow regulations regarding lights and fires at night and check out the supervised activities offered by the aquarium of the lagoons and the Bwärä Tortues Marines association during this time.

The beach boasts a vast expanse and offers a stunning vista, although it may not be suitable for those who are not fond of the sound of crashing waves.
