Otama Beach

A little slice of our paradise. Clear water and white sands. It's not unusual to have this place all to yourself, enjoying the sight of dolphins playing in the waves. One of my favorite spots to relax and unwind. The brief drive over the loose metal road is well worth it for this naturally stunning location.

This beach is incredibly peaceful and vast. At the moment, the road leading to it is under construction and quite narrow. Additionally, some parts of the road are unpaved, which might not be ideal for smaller vehicles.

This beach is definitely one of the most beautiful I've seen in New Zealand. The water is super clear, there are lots of fish, the sand is gorgeous, and the scenic views are breathtaking. We even spotted some bronze whalers and stingrays! Don't let that scare you though; they keep to themselves. 😏

This remains one of the most stunning beaches I've ever encountered, even after days of relentless rain!

Stunning cliffside scenery on the journey there. The snorkeling experience was fantastic, especially considering it wasn't part of a paid tour. With the proper gear and swimming abilities, you can catch plenty of fresh fish and sea urchins.
