Beach in Kaiteriteri, Abel Tasman National Park, northeast coast, New Zealand

Today I’d like to feature a few of the coast lines of the southern island of New Zealand. As you will see these are structures & shapes at its best! Let’s start in Kaiteriteri: beautiful red sand, white rocks, greeen trees … , yes, and blue sky. What else?

Really dramatic the windy west coast near Greymouth with nice waves from the Tasman Sea …

The Pancake rocks are for sure worth a stop. Pretty special…

Calm again the coast line at the Okarito Lagoon – on the way to the Southern Alps.

Palm trees and the Tauparikaka beach of the Tasman Sea …

At the most southern point of the south island – called “slope point” – the calm sea might be misleading as the trees there suggest!
