No geotrack, but here's the Wikipedia page describing the lighthouse (Phare)
One of the most popular day trips outside of Noumea is a visit to the Amedee lighthouse some 24 km south of Noumea.  The entire outing is generally managed through a tour company and, I must admit, it's pretty well done.  A 45 minute boat ride, a gorgeous island with snorkeling, several optional activities, an all you can eat buffet.  Low key, but well run, and all things considered not TOO expensive, at least by NC standards.  Well, if you don't count the expense we incurred from my going snorkeling with my fancy (but not waterproof) cell phone in my swimming shorts.
