Great spot! A sandy beach, good waves and a great view on both the Cook Strait and the Kaikoura Ranges. However, be mindful of water quality after heavy rain; the stream can carry chemicals from a decommissioned rubbish dump above the neighbouring hills. Chiefly rust, and can turn the bay orange. Definitely wouldn't swim in that.

Nice sandy beach popular in the summer. Parking is a bit limited and the beach is good for dogs. There is a warning about dangerous rips and the beach is unguarded. Near the Dorrance to the beach is a propeller from a New Zealand Navy frigate the rest of the ship was sunk as a diving site.

Nice Sandy beach on the south coast of Wellington. There is a large propeller here from an old navy frigate. The beach is dog friendly and there are a few parking spaces. Not suitable for swimming as there is an undertow present.

Houghton and Princess Bay are the first point where the Southern Walkway meets the coast. It is a short walk up Houghton Valley Road to Sinclair Park, where a track leads up to Buckley Road and outstanding views. There is also a track on the right side of the road that leads to View Road Park and the Te Ranga a Hiwi Track. Surfing and swimming is for strong and...
