New Caledonia Oro natural pool
Oro natural pool is a magical spot of Pins island in New Caledonia. The color of water, the trees, the white sand, the walk by the sand river, all is magic and incredibly beautiful.
Photography Tips
Don't forget the tripod, filters, patience and sun protection!
Be careful with the tide, because with the high tide the walk back can be athletic.
For drone photography, check local drone regulations first. You might need to obtain a permit from the local authorities.
