Amedee Beach
The Amedee Lighthouse Island is one of the most popular day trips for visitors to Noumea. The island is home to one of the tallest lighthouses in the world, which had to be constructed in Paris in 1862. Amedee Island is a stunning white-sand island surrounded by pristine waters, with plenty of snorkeling opportunities off the beach as well as glass bottom boat tours. The island is only 24 kilometers from Noumea, which is why it tends to top the list of must-do activities for anyone visiting the capital.
