Sunset at Wharariki Beach and Archway Islands, Golden Bay, South Island, New Zealand

---

Sunset at Wharariki Beach and Archway Islands, Golden Bay, situated just west of Cape Farewell and Farewell Spit at the northern most point of the South Island of New Zealand. Wharariki beach is approximately an hour’s drive from Takaka, and is accessible by a 20 minute stroll across private, rolling farmland. The remote beach is characterised by bold cliff lines, high arches, caves, sand dunes and is home to fur-seals and seabirds. The wind sweeping the western coast has resulted in quirky, intriguing bushland. Wharariki Beach, South Island, New Zealand. 7th February 2011.
