🪨 North Island’s Own Moeraki Boulders! 🌊

How cool is this? The North Island version of the famous Moeraki Boulders! 😍

📍 Getting there:

🚗 Use Google to find the car park on Waione Rd, just off Koutu Loop Rd (it's a gravel road, so take it slow!). IThe car park itself is just grass and dirt.

🥾 Once at the park, walk to the beach and turn right.

🌊 What to expect:

🦶 The area is a mudflat rather than sand, so sturdy footwear is a must.

🌑 Best viewed at low tide – that’s when the magic happens!

Tip: If it’s winter or wet, make sure you’re rocking good walking boots!
