Discover Nouméa’s nightlife

• By the bays

  After nightfall, Nouméa locals meet by the Baie des Citrons (Lemon Bay) to enjoy a cocktail or an ice-cold beer with friends. One of the hippest spots in town, the bay serves as a great spot to sit back, relax and watch on as the sun slowly descends below the horizon. Claim a sofa or armchair facing the sea and embrace the beauty of this daily spectacle. Soak up the ambience and welcome the night with open arms.
