We have spent more than two months in New Caledonia and if at the beginning we had not been so enthusiastic about writing a guide about it, we've changed our mind gradually by discovering real gems on these great and so beautiful islands. It's true that after living for three years in Martinique and its gorgeous beaches, we were thinking that we'd find the same spots here and were a little bit disappointed. Nevertheless, we succeeded in finding breathtaking beaches with stunning lagoons... so patience is one of the keywords in New Caledonia. As for nature, it conquered us from the start with its incredible diversity, perhaps the richest we have ever encountered so far. Therefore, if you are patient enough to read till the end and see some of our photos, you'll understand by yourself that New Caledonia is really an island that worth the journey. New Caledonia is an archipelago formed by a main island, called Grande Terre, 400 km long and 50 km wide, and more than 140 islands. One of the best known is the gorgeous 姤e-des-Pins (Isle of Pines) but there are also the Loyalty Islands to the east: Ouv嶧, Lifou and Mar?
