Overview
Baie de Bourail is one of the most scenic places on the west coast of New Caledonia. It has unusual rock formations, a very popular swimming and surfing beach, the beautiful Baie des Torues and the marine reserve of L'ile Verte. The large Baie de Bourail is open to the ocean swell and does not make a comfortable anchorage, but the nearby Baie N'diadiou is comfortable and sheltered. The town of Bourail (pop. ~5,000) is about 5 km away by road.
