About this site
Dumbea Pass sits along the barrier reef off the west coast of New Caledonia's main island, Grande Terre, near the entrance to Noumea's lagoon south of the Dumbea river mouth. Passes along this reef system typically connect the open ocean to the sheltered lagoon waters inside, and are usually accessed by boat from Noumea.
