This dive site, Plage de Moara, is situated in Thio, a charming, off-the-beaten-track locality on New Caledonia’s East coast. It is easily accessible directly from the shore, with a nearby campsite set in a coconut grove offering convenient access. The diving here is straightforward, following the natural coral reef that begins close to the beach, making it ideal for relaxed exploration.
The vibrant coral reef at Moara Beach is home to a variety of marine life. Divers and snorkelers can expect to encounter colorful clownfish nestled among anemones, graceful sea turtles, and if lucky, the rare sight of a dugong, which is known to frequent the bay. The shallow depths allow for extended observation of these creatures in their natural habitat.
Plage de Moara is best visited for its calm, sheltered conditions, perfect for beginners, snorkelers, and freedivers. The site highlights the rich biodiversity of New Caledonia's coastal reefs. It is especially suitable for those seeking a tranquil and intimate encounter with marine life away from more crowded destinations.
