Overview
Port de Goro is a reef enclosed bay at the SE corner of Grande Terre on the north side of the Havannah Pass. The area is relatively exposed to the prevailing SE winds and so is best as an anchorage in westerly winds. There is a small settlement in the area, but no shops or other facilities. The prime reasons for visiting this bay are the large waterfall, the mining ruins and the diving on the outer reef.
Cruising the region
Port Goro is the first anchorage inside Havannah Pass. You must clear Customs in Noumea before stopping anywhere in New Caledonia, so, unfortunately, stopping here when inbound is not an option.
