Dec 8, 2025 Dawn, Beaches
We rode the bikes the few blocks to the waterfront early this morning to see the sunrise.
We saw a few seagulls and a fisherman along with the sunrise over Cape Kidnappers to the south.
We rode back to the B&B for breakfast then prepared for a road trip to the beaches to the south.
Ocean Beach, about a half hour drive south, is a good swimming beach we’ve been told, but we just enjoyed a walk in the surf.
Another 20 minute drive took us to Waimarama Beach further south.
Closer to the island Te Motu-o-Kura or Bare Island, we watched a surf class from Napier Boy’s High School (according to the van in the parking area).
And always, the whimsical, colorful toilets we see all over New Zealand!
