I used to be informed that surfers come to this seashore to catch waves. The vast majority of the individuals on the seashore have been certainly surfers. Out of the roughly 100 people who I counted at this seashore, there have been perhaps 10 like me, who have been there to put on the sand and soak within the solar. Everybody else was fairly critical 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 comfy on the sand, the Solar was BLISTERING. I used to be carrying a sheet to cowl myself, however it was unbearably scorching and sweaty underneath 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 stunning 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 collect 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 Seaside, 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 picture tales coming quickly. I additionally plan to wrap it up all with a complete publish about the complete New Zealand journey.
Thanks for studying!
