Location + getting there ⬇️ 📌 Save this spot now so you don’t forget it later! This is one of the most surreal and cinematic beaches I’ve ever visited. Welcome to Wharariki Beach at the tip of Te Wai Pounamu/South Island. 🗓️ Late summer (Feb–March) gives you the best shot at sunshine. You also want to go at low tide for exploring caves. Sunset is absolutely worth it here too.. 🚗 From Tākaka it’s about a 40 min scenic drive followed by an easy 20-minute walk across farmland. Head for the Wharariki Beach carpark at the end of Wharariki Rd. 🌬️ Expect strong winds and currents (would not recommend swimming here) and no reception. Come prepared with warm layers, water, and check the tides before you go if you want to explore the caves.
