West Coast beach

J, J, A and Slim, the dog took me on a bit of an off-the-beaten-track walk to a part of the Coast I would never have found in a thousand years!

There's something that I just love about these beaches - wild, rugged, rough and more than a little unpredictable.

After we'd had a wee walk along this beach we headed up to Punakaiki hoping to see the blowholes doing their thing. They didn't co-operate but it was still a great trip out - lovely fresh air, sunshine and good company. Wonderful!
