This beach was right across the street from my hostel. Maybe a 2 minute walk….
The Kaikoura Peninsula. one of the must-dos while here is to do the four hour walk around the whole peninsula. It was amazing! My pictures don’t do it justice. PS-This obviously isn’t my picture, but something that I got from Google.
