Whale Bay — Attraction in Waikato

Had a lovely stroll along Whale Beach where we found a little monument place with a bunch of photos of a dog named 'Lailucci'. I took a photo of this sad and sweet monument and when I came back home, all of a sudden I realized that this could be the same dog I met 4 years ago when I visited the beach for the first time, and I even took a photo of the dog and his(her) owner! Could be a lovely memory with this...

Where the maps tooks us, there's parking at the top of a hill then there toilets available with a swing set even though can't see this on the maps as this doesn't seem exactly at the right spot on the bay. No picnicking and trespassing sign along the rocks at one point but saw more than a few surfers go down that way with their boards. More than half of this area is more large rounded rocks...

It's called whale bay cause some times the whales come up in the bay. Didn't see any that day but have heard of people telling me why they come...
