Doubtless Bay was our next destination. The beaches here were stunning – I found myself saying “ooh, that’s a nice beach, we should go there” to pretty much every one that we drove past. And they were all deserted! You wouldn’t get a deserted beach on a sunny(ish) day in England!
My personal favourite was Matai Bay with its two twin coves. The water was so, so calm and inviting… but, alas, a bit too chilly to swim in. Maybe we’ll have to come back when it’s a bit warmer…
