Sand beaches - New Zealand’s coast has many sandy beaches, such as this one on Codfish Island (Whenuahou), off Stewart Island. As the sea level rose to its present level about 6,000 years ago, it flooded the valleys of the mainland, forming features such as the Marlborough Sounds. The sea also brought large quantities of offshore sand, which formed the beaches and dunes of the coastline.

Rocky shores - Boulder and gravel beaches are more common in the South Island. They are the result of a tectonically active environment in which rivers carry large quantities of eroded material, much of it very coarse. Mixed sand and gravel beaches, rare worldwide, are common in New Zealand. Pictured here are the boulder beach and mudstone cliffs at Cape Foulwind, on the West Coast.

Black Sand Beaches - On the South Island’s West Coast, black sand beaches such as this have successfully been mined for gold. The sands also contain other heavy minerals eroded from the Southern Alps and concentrated on beaches through wave action. In the North Island the black sands are derived from volcanic rocks and dominate the 750 km of shoreline between Taranaki and Cape Rēinga in the far north. Auckland’s black sands are mined and smelted into iron.

The Abel Tasman National Park has become recognised as an area of outstanding natural beauty in New Zealand. The Abel Tasman colors, the deep blues and greens of the sky ,water and forest with the golden yellows of the sand create a breathtaking paradise to sea kayak in.

When you think of Hawke's Bay  - the "Fruitbowl of New Zealand" - think of sun, surf, orchards, wineries, cafes. With its unique history and attractions, the region affords tourists an unforgettable experience. It has an amazing amount of things to do and see within thirty minutes to an hour of either of the Twin Cities (Napier and Hastings).

Hawke's Bay is the Art Deco Capital of the World - thanks to the 1931 earthquake that virtually destroyed most of Napier and Hastings. The cities were rebuilt in the fashionable styles of the time - Spanish Mission, Stripped Classical, and above all Art Deco. Cape Kidnappers is one of the largest, most accessible, mainland Gannet colonies in the world. Visited by thousands of people each year, particularly between early November and late February, the Cape itself is a geological marvel. Hawke's Bay consistently produces a broad spectrum of award-winning wines. With 28 wineries in the region, all of them open to tourists for wine-tasting, and many with restaurants, Hawke's Bay has become world-renowned for its wineries. The "Wine Trail" is a must for all visitors to the region.
