Te Arai Beach at sunset. This beach is one of Auckland's best kept secrets - great surf, white sand, warm water and pretty empty most of the time. #nzmustdo
Visiting my brother in Matakana in the New Zealand's North Island I spent a whole day in Tawharanui Regional Park a whole 7 hours exploring beauty. This park and marine reserve is huge with Two beaches and a lagoon 💚. You can camp here or hire a regional Bach if your lucky. It is also a park with native Kiwis , my goal is to camp here on another trip one summer 🙏🏻
Climb headlands , explore caves , collect seashells , watch fantails dance in the air for bugs. Swim and capture memories some of the many beautiful things to do at this beautiful New Zealand Regional Park Tawharanui 💚💚💚💚
