Te Henga Bethells Beach Sea Caves
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.
Milkyway Spotting
The uninterrupted views of the night sky along the west coast of Aotearoa are unparalleled - just wait for darkness to set in, then gaze up as the milky way starts to make its appearance...
Catch A West Coast Sunset
The sunsets on the west coast are unforgettable - on a good day, the sky looks as though it is aflame with colour, as the sun burns into the horizon.
Bethells Beach Cafe Its A Vibe
Bethells Beach is more than just a cafe - it's a whole vibe. Think; sitting in the sun, listening to chill tunes, eating very delicious kai (food), while locals and tourists alike mingle and chat, horses trot by, dogs sit in the shade, and everyone is just...enjoying life. I was lucky enough to be there for an evening with a very cool band, as well as an annual festival!
Surfing At Bethells Beach Of Ofneills Beach
Iconic black sand beach popular with local and international surfers
Te Henga Bethells Beach
There is nothing quite like the wild raw nature of a NZ west coach beach - watching in awe at the power of the waves as they crash on the shore, searching for new beautiful patterns in the unique black sand, hunting for sea shells, paddling in the shallows of the inlet, or watching the sun set against the ocean's horizon - you'll never experience the same day twice.
