Such a beautiful day! We hiked north on the Waipu Coastal Walkway.

A welcome bench to rest.

Expansive views towards the Hen & Chicks Islands and the tiny dot of Sail Rock on the right.

Our destination, Waipu Cove. The tide was out so we could jump across the creek and walk to the restaurant, park and bathrooms. If the tide was in, we would have to wade up to our thighs!

We marvel at the huge Pohutuwaka trees that grow horizontally, clinging to the rocks.
