The Gillespies Beach is one of the only places from which you have perfect views on Mt. Cook while standing right at the beach.

Photography Tips

Wait till the water gets calm and use the reflection to create symmetry. The shoreline (especially when tide is in the lagoon) can be used as a leading line.
