Matapouri Bay

This is a bay on the Tutukaka coast, north east of Whangarei. Alex and I went today, in glorious sunshine, didn't need a stripy cardigan, just a cossie. In and out of the sea all day! Sorry!!!!!

We had to squeeze through a narrow crevice in the rock to reach this, but worth it!

Advert for Bounty
except no coconuts. The sand was too hot to stand on this afternoon.

disabled toilet - Mum!
How you would get here is a mystery, as you can only reach this bay by footpath over a headland! But it has a very nice view for a disabled toilet.
