Ouvea
island, is a coral atoll and one of the most beautiful in the Pacific, with a fine white
sand beach that stretches on the western coast for nearly 20 kilometers. On the other side
a chain of coral cliffs stops the waves of the Pacific ocean, these cliffs are
particularly beautiful in Lekine Bay (on the South of the island) where is possible to
explore it at low tide, the view towards Mouly (Mouli) Bridge is wonderful.
