New Zealand Purakaunui Bay

A nice spot if you don't mind a lot of people as it is a public camping spot. It is nearby the more famous Parakaunui Falls and gives more to visit in the same area.

This would be a better sunrise photo as the sun rises to the left in this shot. This is one possibility with the river meandering in an S-shape into the ocean with great background.
Another shot is to the left where there is a nice large tree for the foreground as seen in other photos but had a campervan parked right in front.

Travel along the Chasland Highway and follow the signs to the falls and then take a left along the signage to the bay. Beware the sandflies that pack a bite so wear long trousers.
