After Pupu Spring, we overnight at cabin camp before we heading to Golden Bay the next day to explore the wild and rugged South Island's most northern point, the wind sculpted cliffs at Cape Farewell and the truly golden beaches of Wharariki Beach. It's worthwhile spent a night here to enjoy the area, affordable cabins with well equipped kitchen and TV room.
The next morning when we awoke, we found ourselves in a beautiful scenery, people fishing on the rock. Can't believe that i had made this beautiful scenery as a photo, thought it can only be seen in movie. What a satisfaction!
The power of the nature making me enchanted myself with the spectacular sunrise.
If you look at the map of the northern tip of Golden Bay, you can see the distinctive Kiwi shape curving round Golden Bay from the Cape Farewell that curves away to the longest sand spit of New Zealand, Farewell Spit is the kiwi's beak.
First station - The wind sculpted cliffs, Cape Farewell
A few minutes short walk uphill from the car park takes you to Cape Farewell.
An impressive cliff top lookout with the unbounded, expansive sea and coastal views. There's a definite feeling of being at the hilltop and the wind sculpted cliffs.
Yes, we're now at the South Island's most northern point. This photo is the best evidence to expressed our excitement.
Second station - The truly golden beaches, Wharariki Beach
There are signboards directing the way from walk uphill along the coastline toward Wharariki Beach.
In order to get to the beach, we need to get through sheep paddocks and farmland up the hill. Despite the long walk, we enjoyed the beautiful scenery and magnificent views all the way! As when we are walking in a line at rugged mountain we joked happily while viewing and enjoying for the beautiful scenery.
Approximately half an hour after strolled through the sheep paddocks and farmland, the incredible coastal landscape was infront of us. I can only described wharariki beach as wondrous coastal landscape, with the enormous sand beaches, massive sand dunes and wild and thunderous waves. It's windy here, as you can see, I almost stir up by the strong wind.
That's really a scenic delight with the beautiful and fine sand beaches, a truly golden beaches.
I would said this is a photographer's paradise, because we've taken thousands of photos here.
