Yate is a city in
New Caledonia.
New Caledonia's chief attractions are great scuba diving (with 150-ft/45-m visibility), limestone caves, horseback riding, camping, spectacular beaches, snorkeling, and interesting blends of European and Melanesian cultures.
It's a good destination for those interested in great beaches, clear water and lush scenery combined with a dash of French ambience, culture and food. It's not recommended for anyone who would be shocked by either relatively high costs or the contradictions of colonialism. Although English is spoken in some places, a working knowledge of French helps, particularly on some of the outer islands. (Read more in the New Caledonia Travel Guide)
