New Zealand - Bays and Beaches

New Zealand's coastline consists of thousands of kilometres of golden yellow or blazing white sandy, pebbly or rocky beaches, which are mostly empty of people. The various different geological conditions mean that the sea appears in a variety of colours, from deep blue to dark green to turquoise. One of the highlights of a trip to New Zealand has to be witnessing a sunset or sunrise in one of the countless dreamy bays. There's something for everyone on New Zealand's coastline, be it surfing, boating, swimming, diving, fishing or splashing around with the kids. Walking through the sand dunes gives you the chance to see the unusual vegetation in these coastal areas.
