Poindimié Islands

The Poindimié Islands are a group of seven tiny islets, with a collective area of about 3 ha, lying some 10–12 km off the north-eastern coast of Grande Terre, the principal island of the French Territory of New Caledonia in Melanesia in the south-west Pacific Ocean. They are formed of small banks of sand and dead coral, with little vegetation, and provide nesting sites for seabirds and sea turtles.
