The sea caves at Te Henga / Bethells Beach are a sight to behold. After a long walk along the black sand beach (to either the north or south end) you will find the sea caves - I went to the southern caves. Be sure to time your visit well with the tides, as you definitely don't want to get caught out! As you approach the cave seems somewhat small, but the closer you get, the more you realise the absolute scale of both the cliffs and the cave. Incredible natural colours paint the stone, swallows dip in and out, and it is eerily but beautifully quiet and cool inside. Definitely a must-do in the area.
