Overview

Port de Touho is an excellent stopping point on the east coast of New Caledonia. The nearby Grande Passe De Touho provides good access to vessels contemplating a trip to the Loyalty Islands or returning from such a trip. There is a small marina for those not wanting to anchor out, a sheltered anchorage, a couple of small well stocked stores, a local market and a fuel station. There is good diving on the nearby reefs.

  • Sheltered anchorage can be found on the eastern side of Baie de Touho between the marina and the town. Look for a single Cook's Pine (Araucaria Columnaris) as you approach. This is a good anchorage in the dominant SEly breeze, but is sheltered behind reefs for nearly all directions. The easiest dinghy landing is the small jetty within the marina.
