Lemon Bay Beach On Your Own

OVERVIEW

Spend hours relaxing however you please on one of Noumea’s most popular beaches, a lengthy stretch of sand with plenty of shops and restaurants within easy walking distance. It won’t take long to reach the beach as you will ride a wheeled shuttle train there. Lemon Bay is supposedly named for the lemon tress that once grew near the shore. Today, coconut palms are abundant and provide shade for those who prefer to lie on the grass below rather than on the sand. Still, the main draw is the beach and the bay’s sheltered, typically calm waters. The beach is spacious enough to find your own piece of paradise and do most anything that you find relaxing. Feel free to do nothing more ambitious than bask in the sun and stroll along the shore. The sea is wonderfully inviting and its turquoise waters are ideal for a refreshing swim.
