    The best walk I did so far! Worth your time, especially on a sunny day :)

    beautiful spot, worth the drive up here. secluded beach, park at the top of the hill in the designated car park and follow the signs to whale beach, 8 min walk down the hill. Home to some kiwis, we didnt see any but there are signs that say they live there. there are toilets on the beach that are clean.
