新西兰上的海滩

This beach is absolutely breathtaking. The black sand is incredibly soft and doesn't cling to your skin. The views are stunning and it's not overcrowded. The waves are massive and appear quite turbulent. However, if you head further up, there's a designated swimming area where the waves seem smaller and less rough. It's only a 50-minute drive from Auckland CBD, making it a highly recommended destination to visit.

We absolutely adore visiting Karitane Beach, starting from the moment we catch sight of it from the lookout. The walk is wonderfully uncomplicated, and our furry friend enjoys it so much that he resists leaving. And honestly, we feel the same way.

This beach is truly stunning, one of the most beautiful I've ever seen! The path to get there is easy to locate and not too difficult to navigate. However, if you decide to climb up to the lookout, be aware that it's quite steep and may not be suitable for everyone. But if you do make it up there, the view is incredibly rewarding! From the top, we were lucky enough to spot some hammerhead sharks swimming near the beach, which was an amazing sight!

We love coming to this beach every time. When the tide is low, there are fantastic rock pools that the kids can explore. The playground is always a favorite among the children, and we adore the picnic spots along the sandy shore. The public facilities are also good. The walkways are pleasant, and the views are stunning.

This holiday park is absolutely stunning, with the beach right at our doorstep. We really appreciate being able to bring our dog along, and the people here are incredibly friendly. We will definitely return in the future!

This beach was our first stop on our journey from Dunedin to Lake Tekapo, just a short distance off Hwy 1. The sand here is home to these fascinating round boulders, formed from the calcification of dinosaur mud. Some of them are almost perfectly round, while others resemble petrified tortoise shells with hexagonal patterns of yellower rock. It's quite an interesting walk down the short beach to witness dozens of these boulders. There are a few stairs to access the beach, but they are not difficult to climb.
