Chasseloup Bay

Chasseloup Bay

Chasseloup Bay or Baie Chasseloup is a bay in northwestern New Caledonia. It lies northwest of Katavilli Bay and southeast of Gomen Bay.[1]The town of Voh lies to the east of the bay. Several rivers empty into the bay. A small coral reef with a least depth of 5 feet lies 1200 yards westward of the middle of the head of Chasseloup Bay.[2] Puangue Channel is westward of Chasseloup bay and forms a curve about 2J miles in length.[3] It is reportedly the only way within the outer reef by which a vessel can pass to the northward.[3]Anchorage in the bay is said to be good.[3]
