Feb 8, 2026 A Day at the Beach
We’ve moved to another B&B, in a rural suburb south of Dunedin, close to golden sand beaches. We explored down the east coast as far as we could drive on pavement!
We visited Brighton Beach with rocky outcrops and more gulls than people on the beach on this glorious sunny Sunday.
We continued south to Aslaw’s Beach but didn’t find a way down the steep embankment onto the beach, which may explain the complete lack of people on the white sand!
We were able to get on the beach near the mouth of the Taieri River, near the town of “Taieri Mouth”. We were mesmerized by the sea foam blowing across the sand, driven by the stiff breezes and hydroplaning on a thin film of sea water! Watch video HERE!
