I used to be instructed that surfers come to this seashore to catch waves. Nearly all of the folks on the seashore had been certainly surfers. Out of the roughly 100 people who I counted at this seashore, there have been perhaps 10 like me, who had been there to put on the sand and soak within the solar. Everybody else was fairly severe about browsing and having fun with the waves.
After I drove out right here, the Solar was hiding behind clouds however there was nonetheless loads of blue sky and water. However by the point I had made myself snug on the sand, the Solar was BLISTERING. I used to be carrying a sheet to cowl myself, nevertheless it was unbearably scorching and sweaty beneath there. There’s zero shade on the black-sand Ngarunui seashore – besides precisely one half-fallen down tree, which was, clearly, already occupied.
What a stunningly lovely seashore although. I simply didn’t have the vitality to shoot any self-portraits. I had deliberate to take action previous to leaving however I used to be so hell bent on getting out that I simply couldn’t get myself to assemble the vitality to arrange the tripod and pose.
It’s a STEEP climb down and up from the seashore to the automobile park. There’s a bathe on the entrance to the seashore and likewise on the automobile park, however bathrooms are solely on the automobile park.
Would LOVE to return to Raglan and discover extra seashores on the shoreline!
I additionally visited Piha Seashore, Mataitai Bay, Haroto Bay, Whakatiwai, I drove alongside State Freeway 22 and ended my journey with a day spent photographing extra of myself and writing, on the Les Batkin Reserve on the Waikato Riverside. Clearly, extra photograph tales coming quickly. I additionally plan to wrap it up all with a complete put up about the complete New Zealand journey.
Thanks for studying!
