Nueva Zelanda, mejores playas

La playa de Piha es una escapada de fin de semana ideal para sumergirse en la naturaleza. Esta playa de arena negra ofrece excelentes lugares para relajarse, leer un libro, hacer un picnic o, para los más aventureros, practicar surf. El agua es cristalina y excepcionalmente limpia. Sin embargo, encontrar estacionamiento los fines de semana puede ser un desafío.

Glenduan Reserve is located 18 km from Nelson and is a beautiful, restful place to relax. It's a great spot for dog walks and seal spotting. There is a walking area along the side of the beach, and the reserve features two playgrounds, a skateboard area, toilets, a children's play area with a flying fox, and plenty of parking. The beach at Glenduan is very rocky. You can also reach Cable Bay from here, either via the beach or the 8 km Cable Bay Walkway that goes over the hill. The area is a Marine Reserve, so no fishing, netting, taking, or killing of marine life is allowed, and the removal of any natural material from the reserve is prohibited.

When sorted properly, this place is fantastic, especially with the right company. It gets busy on weekends with locals heading to the beach. There are toilets, drinking water, several large grassy areas, and picnic tables. The beach is perfect for walks when the tide is out, heading left towards Blackhead or right towards Brighton. It's also enjoyable with the tide in, depending on the direction. The location is stunning at sunrise and sunset, especially on a warm, windless night. Away from artificial light, the stars are breathtaking, and the beach is much quieter than during the day. Timing is crucial, especially if you're walking dogs, as you might encounter sea lions and seals, more so than at Brighton Beach. The coastal road offers an amazing drive with views leading to Taieri Mouth and a scenic route through a majestic forest, with a stop a few kilometers before Waihola, which is now locked at night for vehicles.

This place is incredibly welcoming. There's ample parking for up to 25 motorhomes, and the beach is just steps away. You'll find a rubbish bin and shared toilets on site, which are also used by the NZMCA park across the road. It's DOG friendly and very quiet, except for the occasional sounds of wekas.

Esta playa es absolutamente impresionante. La arena negra es increíblemente suave y no se adhiere a la piel. Las vistas son impresionantes y no está abarrotado. Las olas son masivas y parecen bastante turbulentas. Sin embargo, si te diriges más arriba, hay una zona de natación designada donde las olas parecen más pequeñas y menos agitadas. Está a solo 50 minutos en coche del distrito financiero de Auckland, lo que lo convierte en un destino muy recomendable para visitar.

I absolutely love this place! The beach has beautiful sand, and it's perfect for a drive over the hill.
