Sunday sees us at Port Moselle, the harbour of Noumea boarding the boat for a 1 hour trip to Amedee Island. Fringed by coral reefs this tiny speck of sand in the ocean is part of a much larger coral reef that is second in size only to our Great Barrier Reef. As such the 56metre light house built in the reign of Napoleon the third is an important navigational aid.
While the waters were too cold to go swimming or snorkelling we had a lovely day walking on the pristine white sand beach, climbing the lighthouse for a bird’s eye view of the island and fish and turtle watching in a glass bottom boat. Lunch and wine were provided and we were gobsmacked by the restaurant quality food on offer in a beachside picnic setup.

Your favorite picture is my favorite too. But the scenery is stunning as well. Looks much nicer than how I remember it 23 years ago.
