It was only last year that we last visited Noumea, also via a cruise ship and also on a Sunday.
So what can you do in Noumea on a Sunday? Go for a swim or stay on the ship and swim! We soon went ashore ready to swim. First we visited Coconut Square..there were about 2 other people! Then we walked up to the Cathedral and found two more people..they were posing for wedding photos and finally on to the beach.

We made it to the Cathedral before the midday rush.
There were lots of people around at Lemon Bay and Anse Vata Bay. We took a local bus around to Lemon Bay but didn't make it into the water! Last year we did and were chased out but this time it was not warm enough. The kids seemed to be enjoying the water and lots were sunning themselves on the beach but we were not tempted.
The Baie Des Citrons
Walking around to Anse Vata Bay in the wind.
The kite surfers and kite board riders had a great time. We finally took a bus back to Centre Ville and the shuttle back to the ship.
We are at Ile de Pins tomorrow so plan to swim and snorkel. Don't expect wifi so our next port will be Sydney.
