    Many a pleasant morning and evening

    An inviting beach which offers much. It has many offering including water sports (no surf), eateries and bars. We spent several hours either late mornings or late evenings on the beach.

    Lovely beach but a little windy

    Perfectly located across the road from many of Anse Vata hotels and restaurants but can be a little windy and not much sand most of the time. For a more sandy, sheltered beach head to Plage du Chateau Royale (5 minute walk away) or Plage...More

    Promenade to your heart's content

    This is very much the city away from the city, a tourist hub on the far south end of the Noumea peninsula. Many hotels are nearby, lots of restaurants too. There is a food and craft market on Monday nights. If you find the spot...More

    Anse Vata is getting a bit tired and needs a shake up

    The shops and hotels mostly need a good tidy up and clean up. The Palm Beach Shopping Centre in particular. We have visited Noumea twice in past year and love New Caledonia. This is the first time we stayed in Anse Vata. The eateries here...More

    A nice walk, a terrible beach

    The positives are that it has a nice path to walk on alongside the beach. There are nice cafes on the other side of the road. The beach itself is very rocky and not pleasant to walk on. In the afternoon when we went, it...More

    Nice long beach

    Good long beach to take a walk. Quite windy in the late afternoon and evening. Lots of kite surfers to watch. As the beach is not very wide it is good to use the footpath which follows the bay. Lots of eating places as well...More

    Yes all of the options as per answers given by other posters but also just request the beach front shops, they are kind enough to give you the keys.

    3 weeks should be fine, but bring lots of money it's very expensive. I understand you may be able to rent campers on the island. that's what I would look into next time.
